Fast Tracking

A schedule shortening technique where work that would normally occur one after another is overlapped, running some activities or phases in parallel for part of their duration.

Key Points

  • Used to compress the schedule without changing project scope.
  • Increases risk of rework and coordination issues due to overlapping dependent tasks.
  • Best applied to discretionary (soft) dependencies where logic can be adjusted safely.
  • Different from crashing: fast tracking overlaps work; crashing adds resources to shorten critical tasks.

Example

A construction project overlaps foundation completion with the start of framing on completed sections, allowing framing to begin before the entire foundation is finished.

PMP Example Question

A project manager wants to reduce the timeline without increasing resource costs. They propose starting system testing while development of later modules is still in progress. What technique are they using?

  1. Crashing
  2. Resource leveling
  3. Rolling wave planning
  4. Fast tracking

Correct Answer: D — Fast tracking

Explanation: Overlapping testing with ongoing development runs activities in parallel to shorten the schedule, which is fast tracking; it does not inherently add resources like crashing.
