Critical Chain Project Management / CCPM
Critical Chain Project Management · Project planning method
Projects slip because shared resources and task variability create hidden queues and multitasking.
Why use it
Plan around resource constraints and protect delivery using buffers.
How to apply
- Define the specific management situation and desired outcome.
- Gather the minimum facts, constraints, and perspectives needed to use the tool.
- Apply Critical Chain Project Management / CCPM, make key assumptions explicit, and compare the result with realistic alternatives.
- Record the decision, next owner or action, and a testable criterion for the next step.
Output
A critical-chain schedule with explicit buffers and resource focus.
