This posting is the first in a series of postings on a story written by Bruce Nelson […] The Cabinet Maker: The consequences and chaos of uncontrolled efficiency.
The ultimate story of the Cabinet Maker could actually be any company, in any industry, in any location, and at any point in time. […] The new projects seemed to be stalled in the production process. It was not uncommon that new projects could take as long as two (2) months to complete, and this was not a good situation. […] the primary contractor (the construction companies) used MS Project to schedule their project(s). MS Project is a Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling system, and that, by itself, presented a multitude of recurring issues. […] It was a vicious cycle of reduced cash flow, poor on-time-delivery, and the inability to accept any new work, that finally pushed the cabinet maker management team to ask for some help. To be continued.........

Exepron implements practices from critical chain project management and agile project management to create software that can roll with the punches and get important projects done right. [...] Today, we’re focusing on our software’s use of agile project management, which shares some concepts and theories with CCPM. Agile project management software is primarily used in the software development process. If you work in software development, you know that projects can rapidly evolve due to the complex nature of the industry. This is why using agile project management tools can help software businesses complete projects in a matter of weeks rather than a matter of months.

[...] Kanban and Theory of Constraint can give rise to innovative ways to manage projects, to enhance risk management, and to continuously improve your software processes. Kanban is relatively new on the software methodology scenario, but it has enjoyed rapid success, and most software practitioners have heard about it. The same is not true with regards to the Theory of Constraint, which is often disregarded, ignored or misunderstood by software practitioners.

How to combine improved project management with improved agile methods. The agile movement (Scrum/Kanban) is a big success and a breakthrough in knowledge work. […] But the agile methods do not really fit into our project worlds. […] you have to deliver exactly to a due date with a defined scope and budget. […]So the question is how to bring these worlds together? In this presentation I show an approach based on Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) how to make agile Methods reliable (Reliable Scrum) and protect the agile part of course. The next step is to make them even faster (and more agile) with ideas out of the Lean/TOC World and in the third step - how this all fits together. […] The whole story and details can be found in Part IV of "Tame the Flow - Hyper-Productive Knowledge-Work Management" S. Tendon/W.Müller, 2013, leanpub.

The EM Strasbourg Business School in France (part of Strasbourg University) and the TOC France Association are organising a 1 day conference on the Theory Of Constraints on the 27th of March 2014. This is the "Call For Papers" that will be published in the academic media. Submissions can be in English or in French.
Philip Marris's insight:
The subject is TOC in general so Critical Chain Project Management is perfectly relevant. Indeed since the topic is "TOC and managerial practices" I would say there is a lot of potential CCPM material that could be submitted.
