Project Crashing
• Projects will sometimes have deadlines that
are impossible to meet using normal
procedures
• By using exceptional methods it may be
possible to finish the project in less time
• Costs usually increase
• Reducing a project’s completion time is called
crashing

Other Topics in Project
Management
• Subprojects
– For extremely large projects, an activity may be made of
several smaller subactivities
• Milestones
– Major events in a project are often referred to as milestones
• Resource Leveling
– Adjusts the activity start away from the early start so that
resource utilization is more evenly distributed over time
• Software
– Numerous project management software packages
– Most of these create PERT charts and Gantt charts and can
be used to develop budget schedules, adjust future start
times, and level resource utilization
