Research: Begin by researching the concept of project crashing. Using this method, project managers can reduce the project schedule by applying additional resources to activities on the critical path – with the goal of reducing the schedule as much as possible while minimizing costs.

• Should project crashing be considered a good thing to attempt in most projects, or should it be avoided? Why or why not?
• If a project could be reduced by adding additional funding – why wouldn’t the original schedule be reduced from the very beginning of the project?
• Given the trade-off between scope, schedule, and budget, the project duration could also be reduced by reducing the project scope. Which is better? Attempting to reduce a project schedule by adding resources to critical activities or by reducing project scope? Why?
