 Fast-tracking a project is a process of compressing the project schedule by overlapping tasks and working in parallel. This process is typically used for critical projects, and it is not necessary for Dennis to fast-track this project, as he has time to get the detailed requirements from his supervisor before manufacturing begins.

 It's B. His assignment cannot be considered a project since his assignment is to supervise the manufacturing of a new and unique line of products

Should be Option: C (Progressive Elaboration - Start with what you know and keep increasing the scope / specifications). None other options suit the scenario.
