Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most effective way to accelerate a project is to focus on the activities on the critical path that have long estimated durations, as shortening these activities will have the biggest impact on the overall project timeline. Additionally, activities that are near-term should also be given priority as they have a direct impact on the project's timeline. Option A is not the best choice as some long duration activities may not be on the critical path and will not necessarily have a direct impact on the project timeline. Option B is also not the ideal choice as activities on the critical path with short durations may not have a significant impact on the overall project timeline even if they are made shorter. Finally, option D is not the best choice as it is too broad and does not allow for a targeted approach to acceleration.
