Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) is a Execution Management Methodology based on Eliyahu Goldratt's Theory of Constraints that is view different from the traditional Critical Path Project Management (CPM) process. One of the critical differences from CCPM vs CPM is the manner in which one addresses variability in project execution and the way buffers or padding is used to protect the promised delivery schedule, budget and due date. During this presentation Gerald Leonard will discuss the key components of Critical Chain Project Management and how MS Project users can leverage the Prochain add-on to turn Project into a Critical Chain management application. This presentation will review key features and functions such as network building, time estimating, buffer management and task and resource dependencies.
