About this Presentation
A critical review of CCPM after 20 years. Asking the question, if it is so good why is it not being used by more organizations? Are we, the TOC practitioners part of the problem? Is CCPM a half baked solution? If so what must be done? And if so what is constraining an accelerated adaptation of CCPM? My presentation will examine the cause(s) and offer the direction of a solution.The three pillars of project management as every project manager is well aware are schedule, scope and cost. They are necessary conditions and the success of a project’s execution will be measured against the planned vis-à-vis actual performance of these three criteria. In a specific project they may be co-equals or one may be more heavily weighted than the others, but make no mistake they are all important and they are all evaluated. Many companies are successfully managing their projects across every industry sector since 1997 using Critical Chain project management (CCPM) methodology. The results suggest this is a legitimate alternative to the Critical Path (CP) project management methodology. After 20 years of CCPM acclaim in the market it is time for a critical review of the effectiveness while evaluating completeness of the solution in managing the three pillars.
