There are numerous ways or strategies that can be followed to do this, of which the most commonly used techniques are:

  • Fast tracking.
  • Crashing.
  • Resource reallocation.

Fast tracking is a schedule compression technique where we change the logic of the project schedule by overlapping critical activities rather than working them strictly in sequence.

Fast Tracking and Crashing are two widely used schedule compression methods.

Although both techniques rely on the critical path, there are significant difference between them. This article is a short guide to schedule compression techniques

Option D appears to be the most appropriate.

Performing activities in parallel is another way of fast tracking though it increases the risk.

if it is only follow up with the planned schedule at site,

otherwise just schedule compression is not going to be affect anything in the project.

b) Performing activities in parallel, thereby increasing risk.Fast tracking always increase risk, while crashing do not increase risk as much as fast tracking can.
