I am a student and I am doing an assignment, one of the assignment questions says; show how you would crash the project in order to achieve a delivery date 10% before the calculated date. Can any body help me, I appreciate any help.

Crashing the plan of the project is related with ending the project ahead of time. This could be done both by including more people to the same taks (splitting them) or by performing simultaneously some tasks in order to shorten the total time for the project. I think in any case, the subject is involved with participating resources.

By the way... If you say crash the project, it reads like the entire project is a complete mess.

I hope it helps.

Hi,

Crashing a project is a term from PMI (Project Managment Institute), the certifying authority for PMPs (Project Management Professionals). Typically it means accelerating completion of a project at a higher cost. In other words, using more people and spending more money to get the project done more quickly. (As the other fella said).

HTH,
