    PMP · Question 90 · Task 6: Plan and manage schedule

    A project manager is developing a schedule for a complex integration project. The critical path includes: Requirements Analysis (4 days), System Design (10 days), Development (15 days), Integration Testing (8 days), and User Acceptance Testing (5 days). If Integration Testing can begin 3 days before Development is complete (fast-tracking), what is the new critical path duration?

    Answer options:

    A.

    42 days

    B.

    40 days

    C.

    39 days

    D.

    37 days

    How to approach this question

    Calculate the overlap carefully: Integration Testing starts 3 days before Development ends, creating a 3-day overlap that reduces total duration.

    Full Answer

    C.39 days✓ Correct
    With fast-tracking, Integration Testing starts 3 days before Development completes, creating overlap. Total duration = 4 + 10 + (15 + 8 - 3) + 5 = 39 days, saving 3 days from the original 42-day duration.

    Common mistakes

    Not accounting for the overlap correctly, adding the overlap instead of subtracting it, or miscalculating the parallel work duration.
