About this Presentation
Timing' in projects is as important as 'time' is. For one single project to be a success, many dimensions need to be in harmony. The multi-project environment, therefore, seems to be much more complex. There are dimensions where things and / or references move continuously. There are dimensions where things and / or references move discretely. Sometimes, dimensions are mixed and the decision process is seen as easier. After decisions are made and implemented, nature shows the effects. Mixed dimensions make it difficult to understand and identify root causes and interrelationship 'routings' governing development systems. When results are not as expected, we cannot expect that the actions taken to correct them or to improve the system are the right ones. Normally there are many hidden conflicts in legacy systems created for the administration of project development systems. During critical chain project management (CCPM) implementation, some of these conflicts arise. Understanding the different dimensions is essential to harmonizing perceptions, decisions, language, solutions, measurements, phases and criteria. Then, the deployment of a process of on-going improvement (POOGI) can be chimerical if CCPM is already implemented or very precise for a new or bigger application or implementation. Harmonizing and the right timing need to be inherently simple but are not necessarily easy.
