About this Presentation
Buffer Management is is a wonderful management tool and a bedrock part of the CCPM solution. Yet, when buffers are penetrated they are a symptom. Earlier visibility of the disruption to flow will identify the cause while quantifying the increasing risk to the project. Leveraging the new flow disruption metrics with Buffer Management will alert the user to the developing risk earlier in time at the individual project and portfolio level.
