Crashing

A specific type of project schedule compression technique performedby taking action to decrease the total project schedule duration after analyzing a number of alternatives to determine how to get the maximum schedule duration compression for the least additional cost.

Typical approaches for crashing a schedule include reducing schedule activity durations and increasing the assignment of resourceson schedule activities. See schedule compression and see also fast tracking.
