Answer: True. Fast-tracking means performing critical path activities in parallel to accelerate a project’s time frame. Doing them in parallel usually affects your ability to integrate properly.

Key Takeaways: In general, these activities were not parallel on the critical path for a reason. There was a reason for one to be completed before the other. When under time pressure, fast-tracking becomes a popular option, but without more resources (e.g. cost) to do testing and integration, it’s hard to get quality right at the same time.
