A project manager is working on a large two$-$year IT project. At the end of the first year, the project is two months behind schedule because the interlace programming is taking longer than planned. The sponsor will not extend the deadline or reduce the scope.

What is the risk if the project manager compresses the schedule to meet the project deadline?

Use of fewer resources

Reduction in rework

Increase in total costs

Improved quality of deliverables
