What is the impact of schedule compression on project resources?

Decreases resource needs
Increases resource needs
Has no impact on resources
Eliminates the need for additional resources

The correct answer is: Increases resource needs

Schedule compression typically involves speeding up the project timeline to meet deadlines or accommodate changes. This acceleration can increase the workload on project resources as tasks need to be completed in a shorter amount of time. As a result, more resources are often required to meet the compressed schedule, making the correct answer to the question B: Increases resource needs. Option A is incorrect as schedule compression usually does not decrease resource needs. Option C is not accurate as schedule compression does impact project resources. Option D is incorrect as schedule compression does not eliminate the need for additional resources; in fact, it often amplifies resource requirements due to the expedited timeline.
