    PMP · Question 26 · Task 6: Plan and manage schedule

    A project has a critical path of A-B-C-D. Task A is 3 days, B is 4 days, C is 5 days, D is 2 days. The project manager decides to 'crash' the project by reducing Task C by 2 days at a cost of $1000. What is the new duration of the critical path? (Enter number only)

    How to approach this question

    Sum the original path. Subtract the crashed amount.

    Full Answer

    Original Path: 3+4+5+2 = 14 days. Crash C by 2 days -> C becomes 3 days. New Path: 3+4+3+2 = 12 days.
