Answer 1

Changing work methods should be appropriate to crash own project. Sometimes it is important to crash own project to reduce the additional time invested on the project. Quality and productivity of the product cannot be compromised to crash my own project. On the contrary, the resource of the project cannot be increased as it is pre-decided. Moreover, any fluctuation of resource can reduce potentials, aims, and objectives of the project.

Changing method is an effective way to crash own project without harming or fluctuating any other project process and activities. Effectiveness of changing project methods to crash the own project are as follows:

• It does not hamper any other project activity
• Change in method brings innovativeness in project operations
• Ensures growth of the project
• Opns up a new side of the project which can be further impactful on project completion
• It does not require any additional resources

Thus, change in the working method should be the ultimate way of crashing self-project.
