Increasing resources on the critical path activities may not always shorten the length of the project because:
A Certain activities are time-dependent rather than resource-dependent (i.e., using three ovens rather than one to bake a cake). B Safety, OSHA and EPA may have placed restrictions on the number of people used on certain activities or in the physical location of the project. C The skill level of the added resources might not be appropriate for the activities to be performed. D Adding more resources may create additional work and produce inefficiencies (i.e., additional people may need training and supervision.) E All of the above.
