Project plans frequently fall apart during execution. With changes in work scope, time & resources required to perform tasks, it is very difficult to schedule daily tasks across projects and resource groups to meet project goals, including ROI maximization. We will discuss a new approach [that includes Critical Chain] for unifying project teams and stakeholders at all levels, for enhancing the flow of productive work, and for aggregating risk for much higher portfolio reliability and for increasing the Return on Investment.

Webinar: Aerosud, a Theory Of Constraints pearl in South Africa. Johan Steyn, the Managing Director, will present their experience in the implementation of the Theory of Constraints (TOC) and how TOC helped to manage the Covid-19 crisis. Includes what is probably the world record in Critical Chain Project Management applied to New Product development: >98% of projects finished on time with clients such as Boeing and Airbus. Aerosud is an aeronautics OEM. The company adopted TOC in 2010. They initially applied it to the Supply Chain and manufacturing with great success, then they implemented Critical Chain Project Management. They pursued their TOC journey by applying the Logical Thinking Process to build their Goal Tree and this led to launching a new audacious service offering. Then Covid-19 struck. Their response was to trigger and co-lead a South African initiative to rapidly develop the products that the country needed to face the pandemic. Today, they have redefined and repositioned themselves to continue to thrive in the new context. Wednesday 10th of June 2020, 4:00pm (UTC+2) Paris time = 10am New York EST.

Thriving at the Edge of Chaos – a review […] Kiron Bondale. Over the past couple of years I have regularly heard companies, their portfolios and even individual projects referred to as Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS). […] I was invited to review Jonathan Sapir’s new book, Thriving at the Edge of Chaos – Managing Projects as Complex Adaptive Systems. In the first half of the book, Jonathan does a good job of covering the challenges we face when trying to apply traditional planning approaches to complex projects. […] his walk through of the Cynefin framework make these sections a good primer on the subject. Whether it is Ian Malcolm’s quote about non-linearity from Jurassic Park, the old joke about the drunk looking for his keys around a lamp post, or the analogy of a fence and treats for a dog as examples of boundaries and attractors, Jonathan provides many quotes, analogies and examples which all help to make a complex (no pun intended) topic approachable for most readers. A number of the principles he covers in the first half of the book will resonate with both agilists and anti-fragilists including: […] Uber is frequently referenced in the book as almost a “poster child” for living on the edge, but I found the inclusion of Cemex and how they overcame the challenges they were facing in a traditional industry more appealing to me given that the majority of organizations are not founded to disrupt an existing business model. The second half of the book covers Dr. Eli Goldratt’s Theory of Constraints (ToC) and focuses heavily on its application in Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM). While CCPM provides good solutions for dealing with common scheduling issues, I did feel that the book could have delved deeper in terms of applying ToC and other models to addressing some of the non-scheduling concerns caused by CAS. …

This can be achieved by applying best practices of Lean, Agile, and the Theory of Constraints (TOC) through Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM). Predominantly, the TOC is a catalyst — it provides practical steps for how best to exploit a constraint when it is identified; it helps determine the necessary and sufficient processes to achieve more of whatever the goal is by eliminating the obstacles that limit the team from moving forward.

Does it seem that projects in your organization require frequent firefighting where due dates are challenged and heroics are necessary to get things done? Do projects often go from green to red overnight? [...] Lack of focus and inability to manage uncertainty are two significant causes of project delays, diminished quality, excessive project durations, and poor team spirit. By addressing these root causes, critical chain project management (CCPM) techniques improve project speed, quality, on-time performance, and team morale. This paper demonstrates how reducing nonproductive multitasking enables team members to achieve high-speed execution and high-quality deliverables, and leads to a greater sense of accomplishment, and an increased capacity to think and to innovate. ...
