What Is CCPM Critical Chain Project Management?
Many project teams suffer from delays or missed deadlines, even when following a structured project management approach. This happens when we don’t fully account for real-world resource limitations or human behavior. The Theory of Constraints uses an approach called Critical Chain Project Management, or CCPM, to address this problem. Learn how CCPM applies the concept of constraints to the critical chain of project tasks, manages risks using buffers, and incorporates various project monitoring practices.
