Why is it important to determine the critical path of a project?
The critical path helps you in determining how to accelerate your project by compressing tasks. Putting more people on critical path tasks and finishing it earlier will shorten the duration of the project (this is called crashing).
What activities must be crashed on each critical path in order to reduce project duration?
In order to reduce project duration, activities on the critical path must be expedited or "crashed." This involves allocating more resources or working longer hours to complete these activities faster. By focusing on the critical path, which is the longest sequence of activities that determines the overall project duration, project managers can effectively shorten the project timeline.
Is it possible to shorten the critical path and save money?
Yes! One reason that this is possible is due to the inverse relationship of direct cost and indirect costs. That is, an increase in project duration usually means a lowering of direct costs and an increase in indirect costs. An analysis can determine the optimum (lowest) total cost as the project duration time is reduced. Individual activities are shortened in order to achieve the lower total duration (which sometimes results in the creation of additional critical paths). However, the total cost vs. project duration can be considered parabolic - this is, because the direct costs are curvilinear while indirect costs are fairly linear. In other words, you can only shorten activities and reduce a certain extent before the time/cost reduction effect reverses itself.

What are the options available to the Project Manager to reduce the duration of the project?
Schedule compression is an attempt to shorten the project schedule without changing the project scope. It may be necessary in order to deal with schedule-related constraints and objectives. It is true that you, the project manager, build the schedule through cold, hard mathematical analysis, and you don't just accept whatever schedule goals come down the pipeline from elsewhere (usually the top), such as from the customer or the project sponsor. However, once you have the schedule built through analysis, you can attempt to accommodate some critical stakeholder expectations or hard deadlines, such as a predetermined project finish date.In the previous section we already saw about Resource Leveling that can be used to accommodate hard deadlines for certain activities. There are two other techniques that can be used for compressing the project schedule. They are:Crashing - This is a project schedule compression technique in which cost and schedule tradeoffs are analyzed to decrease the project duration with minimal additional cost. A number of alternatives are analyzed, including the assignment of additional resources. Approving overtime pay for project resources is another example of crashing.Fast tracking - This is a project schedule compression technique used to decrease the project duration by performing project phases or some schedule activities within a phase in parallel that would normally be performed in sequence. For example, testing of a product can start when some of its components are finished, rather than waiting for the whole product to be completed.

What happens when you shorten the duration of impact?
You increase the force of the impact
How can one effectively shorten the duration of a year?
One can effectively shorten the duration of a year by increasing productivity, managing time efficiently, setting clear goals, and staying focused on priorities.
How can zinc help alleviate a sore throat?
Zinc can help alleviate a sore throat by reducing inflammation and boosting the immune system. It may also help shorten the duration of a sore throat by inhibiting the replication of viruses.

What is the treatment for scombroid?
Antihistamines like diphenhydramine (Benadryl) may shorten the duration of the illness, but the illness will go away on its own.
What happens to the frequency of a pendulum if you shorten the string?
If you shorten the length of the string of a pendulum, the frequency of the pendulum will increase. This is because the period of a pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of its length, so reducing the length will decrease the period and increase the frequency.
How do you get child support in Texas?
You contact the regional office of the state Attorney General. As an alternative, and to shorten the time duration, a mediated agreement can be done and registered with the court.
Can you use the word 'truncate' to describe reducing your food or drink intake?
No. Truncate means to shorten something by cutting off an end. You might use it in reference to shortening the time allowed for a meal, or possibly to reducing the size of a portion of food by cutting part of it off.
