Schedule Compression: What's the Difference between Fast Tracking and Crashing?

The video explains the concepts of crashing and fast tracking in project management, both of which are methods to expedite a project or compress a schedule. Crashing involves using additional resources to speed up project completion, while fast tracking involves performing tasks in parallel that are usually done sequentially.
