We are going to dive into the levels of detail you'll work with and touch on the baseline process. We will also look at some rules [...]
SCHEDULE COMPRESSION METHODS IN PROJECT SCHEDULING
Introduction Schedule Compression is used to shorten the overall project duration of a project schedule without changing the project's scope. The Project Schedule is compressed when the project's progress falls behind schedule. An appropriate schedule compression method is implemented to prepare a revised project schedule to mitigate the prevailing delays and ensure the project's finish date per the original baseline schedule. The schedule compression methods are explained in this article. Schedule Compression Methods The commonly used schedule compression techniques are: Crashing Fast Tracking Crashing Crashing is a schedule compression technique that reduces the project duration by decreasing the duration [...]
