Schedule compression techniques refer to shortening the schedule duration to meet schedule constraints, mandatory dates, or other schedule objectives without reducing the scope of the project. Progress compression techniques include (externally refers to hurry up and surrender first):
( 1 ) rush to work. A technique for compressing schedule duration by adding resources with minimal cost increase. Examples of rush work include: approving overtime, adding additional resources, or paying expedited charges to expedite activities on the critical path. Crashing only applies to activities that are on the critical path and whose duration can be shortened by adding resources. Crashing is not always practical and can lead to increased risk and / or cost.
( 2 ) Quick follow up. A schedule compression technique that changes activities or phases that normally occur sequentially to at least partially parallel. For example, starting a foundation before all the architectural drawings for a building are complete. Fast follow-up may result in rework and increased risk. It only applies when the project duration can be shortened by parallel activities.
( 3 ) Outsourcing;
( 4 ) Assign experienced people to join the project team;
( 5 ) First major and then minor, complete the main part of the project first, ensure the construction period of the key content, and re-estimate the minor part after communicating;
( 6 ) Improve efficiency and improve the performance of the project team;
( 7 ) Investing more resources, increasing resources may sometimes shorten the construction period and limit;
( 8 ) Reduce the requirements or reduce the scope of the project, and ensure the construction period of key content after communicating and negotiating with Party A;
These methods of schedule compression are abbreviated as: outsourcing (outsourcing) refers to (assigning manpower) rushing (rushing to work) fast (fast follow-up) first (primary first and then secondary) raising (improving efficiency) investing (investing resources) lowering ( lower requirement). For more knowledge points and related exam questions over the years, please look for conciseness in the application treasure. If you are busy with projects and have thought about soft exams, you need conciseness!
