What is Critical Chain Project
Management (CCPM)?

Developed in the late 1990s, Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) is a methodology that places a strong emphasis on effectively managing the resources needed to complete project tasks. It achieves this by integrating resource availability into the critical path, which is the sequence of essential tasks that determine the project’s timeline.

Additionally, CCPM incorporates time buffers around these tasks within the project schedule, ensuring that the project can meet its deadlines successfully. By strategically aligning resources and carefully managing task dependencies, CCPM helps organizations achieve greater efficiency and improved project outcomes.

“Anyone who is working on projects and is concerned about
on-time delivery should care about CCPM.”

Eliminate conflicting priorities across your projects and organisation. Have single operational priorities and synchronise everywhere. Create a better workplace for everyone, with more and timely results

To manage a multi-project portfolio with many projects going on at the same time is challenging. Typically there are always more project ideas or customer projects than resources. Often clear strategic and operational priorities are lacking or cannot be maintained in the daily dynamics of a complex multi-project execution environment. Unclear and conflicting priorities create confusion about what to work on and results in much longer leadtimes for example due to multitasking. The consequences are extension of project lead-times, lack of reliability and/or less projects can be completed as required.

The value of Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM)

Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) addresses the challenge of running a complex multi-project portfolio successfully, by introducing two simple but highly effective controls:

  • The first prevents overloads and determine realistic deadlines that can be complied with.
  • The second controls the execution of the projects, using clear operational priorities synchronized across all roles and departments involved, so that deadlines are respected, and resource conflicts are eliminated.

Implementation of Critical Chain results in a stable and professional work environment, in which Task and Project managers are continuously supported with operational priorities for the synchronized execution of their projects and work.

Software Highlights
