>>If you find something that accelerates complex projects, let me know ;-) I know this was partly joking but there are two real ways: Knowing your true critical path and proactively re-plan and manage the risk of those activities that sit on it to clear the way for it to run smoothly... that's of course assuming you planned and estimated it correctly in the first place. If you have a real schedule that is properly resource and risk loaded, run it through a monte carlo sensitivity analysis and see if you can re-plan those highly sensitive activities or de-risk them.
