Integrate Fast Tracking Techniques with the Critical Path Method (CPM) to Accelerate Project Timelines

Abstract

Project fast-tracking involves executing project activities sequentially and in parallel, accelerating completion time. In this research, the Critical Path Method (CPM) was used to analyze and schedule a residential complex construction project through systematic analysis of project tasks and identification of critical paths, which enables project managers to optimize project schedules and compress the schedule effectively. Fast-tracking also enables simultaneous tasks and overlapping sequential activities, thus helping compress project timelines without compromising on quality, ultimately accelerating project timelines.
