What is the goal of schedule compression?

To extend the project timeline
To reduce the project duration without changing project scope
To increase resource availability
To decrease project costs

The correct answer is: To reduce the project duration without changing project scope

The goal of schedule compression is to reduce the project duration without changing the project scope. This is achieved by using various techniques such as crashing and fast-tracking to accelerate the project timeline and meet deadlines without compromising the project scope. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the goal of schedule compression. Extending the project timeline (Option A) would have the opposite effect of schedule compression, increasing resource availability (Option C) might be a result of schedule compression but is not the primary goal, and decreasing project costs (Option D) is not the main objective of schedule compression.
