You are project manager for three different projects.

Project A: This project is behind schedule by 12 weeks. It was to have been completed in 3 months. The sponsor has additional funds to help complete the project on time if needed but does not want to increase risk to the project.

Project B: This project is scheduled to take 28 weeks to complete. You are in the planning stage of the project. You need to reduce the schedule for this project by 9 weeks. This project has a number of predecessors that were created by the project team's preference. The sponsor insists on having all the work done on time without unduly increasing risk or costs to the project.

Project C: This project is in the execution stage of the project. It is behind schedule by 8 weeks; it was scheduled to be completed in 10 weeks. The sponsor is desperate to accomplish something on this project. The budget is limited to the original amount, and all soft predecessors have already been removed.

For each of the project above, choose an appropriate schedule compression technique. Explain your choice.
