Crashing
Add resources to your project so you can finish faster. Crashing almost always involves a financial cost.

Fast Tracking
Perform tasks in parallel so you can finish faster. Overlapping tasks in this way often increases risk.

Main difference .....cost

The main difference between crashing and fast tracking is that, generally, crashing costs more because it involves allocating more resources to a particular activity to shorten the duration.

Crash is adding resources by increasing cost and Fast tracking is what my company does, get work done from multiple team in less time and no extra pay :)
