Résumé

The Artech House bestseller, Critical Chain Project Management, now builds on its success in a second edition packed with fresh, field-tested insights on how to plan, lead, and complete projects in "half the time, all the time." It provides professionals with expanded coverage of critical chain planning, multiple project selection and management, critical change project networks, OPM3, new Agile and Lean techniques related to critical chain project management (CCPM), and effective strategies for bringing about the organizational change required to succeed with this breakthrough method.

This cutting-edge work offers a full understanding of the CCPM techniques, tools, and theory needed to develop critical chain solutions and apply them to all types of projects. Practitioners get clear instructions on how to build single-project critical chain plans and how to stagger projects in a multiple-project environment. The book also presents buffer, management techniques for avoiding the pitfalls of committing too much or too little to any specific project, and for meeting project time and cost commitments every time. Moreover, the book integrates key features of PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) with critical chain to help professionals master key project management skills such as scope control and risk management that are not covered in other critical chain books. Over 100 illustrations help clarify this innovative method that has produced well-documented results in a growing variety of project environments.
