In considering which activities will be sped up when crashing a project schedule, there are two criteria that must be considered: 1) Which activity can be sped up with no loss in quality? 2) Which activity is the least time-sensitive? Both of these criteria are important when deciding what activities to speed up. The first question, which requires an analysis of the task's critical path and constraints, lets you identify tasks that can be completed faster and with no loss in quality. This is accomplished using the Critical Path Method. On the other hand, the second question, which requires an analysis of each activity's dependencies (the order in which they must be completed), is used to identify which activity is the least time-sensitive
