What is crashing in project management?

Reducing project scope to meet deadlines
Using alternative strategies for completing activities for the least additional cost
Increasing project resources arbitrarily to expedite task completion
Slowing down project processes to manage risks better

The correct answer is: Using alternative strategies for completing activities for the least additional cost

Crashing in project management is the process of reducing the time needed to complete a project by increasing the resources allocated to it. This can include adding more personnel, using more advanced tools or methods, or even working longer hours. Options A, C, and D do not accurately describe crashing, as they involve actions that are not necessarily related to expediting the project's completion. Reducing project scope does not necessarily involve additional resources, increasing project resources does not guarantee faster completion, and slowing down processes may not always be the most efficient way to manage risks. Therefore, option B is the most appropriate answer for this question.
