This is also called resource leveling. While the completion of tasks preceding a task determines the criticality of a project, availability of people responsible for certain tasks and of equipment or money has a direct impact on your project.
This is also called “crashing” a project. To reduce overall project duration, reduce the duration of only those tasks that are considered critical.
