Philip Marris's curator insight, February 1, 2015 8:37 AM

One of the main CCPM reference books currently (2015).

Jan Rey's curator insight, July 6, 2018 6:49 AM
Gerald Kendall and Kathy Austin wrote significant compendium for modern Multi-Project Management. Traditional approach to Project Management , based on based on Critical Path, causes multilevel pressure, local focus on thin sliced tasks and inability to recover time,  remains unchanged in their fundamentals. 
Advanced Multi-Project Management focus attention on perfect readiness before execution start. The aggressive planning of significant tasks (with check list in place of details in low level tasks) with precise definition of IN Entry Conditions and Task OUT-comes (definition of DONE).
Several ongoing projects resources are balanced in "what-if?" Analysis to define the sequence of realization with maximum speed. 
You have a chance to make one of the best investments in your professional career!
Six gears of successful multi-project management are fully presented, together with how-to suggestions.

Sjoerd Hoekstra's curator insight, August 23, 2013 7:52 AM

For me it remain hardto understand that so few people embrace the principles of TOC and really see the enourmous positive impact its application has not only on the business process itself but on the effectiveness and culture of the organization.

Book review: Critical Chain

Book review: Critical Chain | Theory Of Constraints | Scoop.it
I wasn't keen to read Criticial Chain.Business novels and stories that I have read in the past, like John Kotter's Our Iceberg is Melting, have been contrived. Authors tend to pick a story and shoehorn in the business lessons.
