Topic > Critical Chain Project Management - 609

Brief HistoryIn 1997, Critical Chain Project Management was developed by Dr. Eli Goldratt from his book on the Theory of Constraints “Critical Chain”. This method was designed specifically for the project environment. CCPM is presented as an alternative to older project planning and control methods, such as those contained within management standards such as the PMI Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). Therefore, Critical Chain Project Management has claims from both a theoretical and practical point of view in light of these new orientations. Apply Goldratt's Theory of Constraints (TOC) to solve project tasks and delivery problems. Description Critical Chain Project Management can be used as a project planning and management method that can emphasize the resources needed to execute related project activities with a narrow and orderly planning task.ProcessCCPM approaches projects by applying the following steps:1. Start the process: Projects are selected as part of achieving the organization's goal. Therefore, initiating a project can derive scope that results in actual implementation to obtain quality resources, sometimes expanding the scope of the project beyond that which is acceptable in a non-TOC environment.2. Planning process: Identify the chain buffer that includes critical activities. Drastically reduce task estimates and safety (manage the impact of variation and uncertainty on projects).3. Execution Process: Project resources are prioritized based on determinations defined in the planning process, such as inserting resource buffers where appropriate to reduce the likelihood that a critical resource will not be available when scheduled. The project manager will decide which… half of the document… project" was used as a pilot effort to evaluate TOC project management. The project was completed in June 1997, with buffers in reserve.
