Critical Chain Project Management
Critical Chain Project Management™ (CCPM) is frequently presented as a revolutionary new project management concept, an important breakthrough in the history of project management. CCPM focuses on the uncertainty in schedule activities and identifies the key activities that, based on time and resource constraints, form the ‘critical chain’ for the construction work. It is based on the concept of a project buffer and argues that managers should manage production by monitoring the buffer time available and allocating resources to critical chain tasks. This chapter examines the advantages of CCPM and whether CCPM is superior to currently accepted project management methodologies.
