PROJECT CRASHER

Shorten the project. Minimize the cost.

Your Mission

  • The project is behind schedule — you must hit the deadline
  • Click activities to "crash" them (pay extra to reduce time)
  • Only crash activities on the critical path
  • Find the cheapest way to meet the deadline
  • Crashing non-critical activities wastes money!
