So what is constraining CCPM from becoming the irrefutable preferred project management and Business solution? This presentation will boldly go BEYOND CRITICAL CHAIN. The positive impact of Dr. Goldratt’s Critical Chain project management (CCPM) solution in every possible environment has been well documented. In fact, it is being used by companies that previously did not view their operations as project management. It introduced the concept of rigorous rules for planning and executing work content while recognizing and treating the required resources with equal importance as the work content. So that the schedule considered both work and the required resources. As innovative and powerful as CCPM was, focusing on planning and scheduling, it did not address the very important element of cost. Perhaps this omission along with the required rigor in planning, limited CCPM from a wider acceptance. Since then, the CCPM software solutions that were developed have addressed these limitations and have significantly contributed to a much wider acceptance of CCPM. Critical Chain (CCPM) software has evolved, providing a much fuller Business Solution. Leveraging Big Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence Machine Learning; providing real time Intelligence, at the Project, Portfolio and now at the Enterprise level. Connectivity via the Cloud, interfacing with other software solutions and databases using API’s (Application Programing Interfaces) is now available. So, what is constraining CCPM from becoming the irrefutable preferred project management and Business solution? Many theories exist, expert pontifications and overall bewilderment abound. So, perhaps we collectively must dig deeper to discover the cause. Identifying the cause should point us to the breakthrough course of action.
