NEW Critical Chain video. It is a 25 minute summary of part of the Critical Chain Project Management training course that we run very frequently. It is the second module in a series of 4. In this video I explain how to plan projects with CCPM: dynamic schedules; Critical Chain identification (and differences with Critical Path); reduction of tasks durations; insertion of project buffers and feeding buffers and why CCPM provides robust high performance schedules.

[...] we strongly encourage everyone to experiment with your own techniques that might help apply one or more Guiding Principles in practice. For our consulting clients, for example, we pull from a total of eleven techniques, spanning four separate bodies of knowledge, and call the resulting method “ACCLAIM,”™ an abbreviation for Accelerated Critical Chain, Lean, Agile Integration Method. For those who may be curious to learn more, we discuss in greater detail nine of these techniques in our best-selling book, The CIO’s Guide to Breakthrough Project Portfolio Performance.

Sanjeev's brief summary of what (Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) is. His answer: "focus and finish". Since CCPM is part of the Theory of Constraints (ToC), where are the constraints in project management? Normally the most logical way to identify a constraint in a project management environment is to identify the longest queues. In case B) when in a portfolio management situation it is quite often the case that 1 to 4 key people are the capacity constraint in an organization with hundreds of people. These key ...

By far the best explanation I've read of variability and how to exploit it for value is Don Reinertsen's Principles of Product Development Flow, which is pretty much the adopted "PatchSpace Bible" for day-to-day process management. And when I say "by far the best", I mean by an order of magnitude above pretty much everything else I've read, apart from the Theory of Constraints literature. ...

[...] project management keeps failing to consistently deliver on time and within costs. The usual suspects for these failures are called uncertainties, that ever growing safety margins are unable to absorb. Surprisingly, a closer look to the reasons to miss the due dates shows that variability and uncertainties are in the Pareto’s tail with the trivial few, while forgotten or unforeseen tasks are the main causes of delays. Explanations. The Pareto diagram or analysis I refer to is the one built upon the analysis of buffer consumption in Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM). In a nutshell, ...

The goal of this technical paper is to: - Make the case for using a scheduling technique that considers uncertainties and natural variability that may impact the project activities, especially in the construction field. - Highlight hidden risks of using earned value management only. - Make the case for implementing an integrated model of earned value management with critical chain project management that gives better early warnings to project management teams about any possible impact on the project completion date and budget.

I use to say that one of the benefits of the Goal Tree is to provide a project Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) to roll out the project, or the Goal Tree to be used ahead of a new project planning to ensure that no step was forgotten. With experience accumulating, I can confirm this to be true, yet with some moderation.

Philip Marris's insight:
Once again this post proposes to "cut the task duration estimated by 50%". I [the curator of this CCPM news website] strongly disagree. It is far better to teach the actors the concepts of CCPM and then ask them to propose their own estimates of their "focused" task durations. The result will be the same is not better; durations will on average be cut by at least 50%. But the reason for doing it in this way, bottom up, is that it ensures buy in.

The theory of constraints is a methodology to remove obstacles that limit output. To this point, it's been mostly used in manufacturing, but you can apply it to project management too. Here's how.

To quote from his website: "I spent quite some time living in Japan working within a large corporation that was both a batch manufacturer and a significant supplier to Toyota. Their batch production mode had always caused them to decline “offers” from Toyota to improve their process and timeliness (but not their products which were in every sense of the word “World Class”). However, together, we were able through Theory of Constraints to produce very significant improvements within a very short period of time. Results that were significant enough to be reported in the national business press and also national television. Let me say that I have deep respect for the fundamental techniques of Japanese kaizen, and of Toyota in particular. Let me also say that I am not ignorant of Lean nor of its predecessors; World Class Manufacturing, Just-in-time, and so forth. But there is something that is wrong with Lean (and Six Sigma) and I want to try to explain this. ...."

[...] The Critical Chain approach is perhaps the most important new development in project scheduling in the last 30 years. Used properly, the Critical Chain approach is an extremely powerful means of gaining more predictability, productivity and speed from your project plans. It has been found to be an effective tool to protect projects from uncertainty and the effects of Murphy’s Law.
