Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Crashing an activity in CPM refers to the process of decreasing its normal time, possibly up to its limit. This helps in reducing the total project duration. Increasing the normal time of an activity is called "time extension." CPM does not require revised immediate predecessor relationships when crashing a project. Crashing a project is a tradeoff between time and cost, not revenue and costs.
