All are considered Project Recovery Techniques to Get Things Back on Track, EXCEPT:

• A. Reduce the amount of Scope
• B. Fast Track Tasks
• C. Crash the Schedule
• D. Work Overtime

Answer: (A)

When a project is off track, recovery efforts focus on ways to finish sooner without systematically changing the project’s overall objectives. Fast-tracking speeds up completion by doing work in parallel that was planned in sequence, which can shorten the schedule but increases risk. Crashing adds resources or more hours to critical-path activities to cut duration, at higher cost. Overtime simply means longer daily work to push more work through in the same time frame, also with higher cost and potential burnout. Reducing scope, while it can help meet a deadline by removing work, is a change in what the project will deliver rather than a schedule-recovery technique. It involves scope management and stakeholder approval and alters objectives rather than just accelerating execution. That’s why it’s not considered a standard project recovery technique in the sense of getting things back on track quickly.
