Speeding
products to the marketplace
Management actions that can help
speed high quality products to the marketplace include:
- Working
through project teams having clear responsibility and
authority.
- Team
and stakeholder communications, free and intense but
not wasted.
- Exhaustive planning.
- Paralleling of tasks.
The difference in schedule compression techniques
-
Fast Tracking: Perform schedule activities in parallel.
Overlapping phases or activities that would normally be done
in sequence,
shortening the critical path. This technique generally
increases the risk of the project.
-
Crashing: Analyzing alternatives for maximum schedule compression
at least cost. Generally, this technique increases the
number of resources and can increase cost.
