Crashing describes a technique to speed up a project by…

…reallocating existing resources or assigning additional resources to the project.
…overlapping activities which were originally planned to be done in sequence.
…reducing the number of features of the product in order to reduce development work.
…reducing the duration estimates for activities to increase the pressure applied to the staff.

The correct answer is: …reallocating existing resources or assigning additional resources to the project.

Crashing is a technique used to speed up a project by reallocating or assigning additional resources. This allows for more efficient completion of tasks and can help a project stay on track and meet deadlines. Option B is incorrect because it describes fast-tracking, which is a different technique that involves overlapping sequential activities. Option C is incorrect because reducing the number of features can result in a lower quality product and does not necessarily speed up a project. Option D is incorrect because reducing duration estimates can put pressure on staff and potentially lead to errors, rather than increasing efficiency.
