CCPM is highly effective when resources are limited and delays are unacceptable. Key principles include:
-
Identify the Critical Chain
-
Unlike traditional methods focusing on work sequencing, CCPM prioritizes resource availability.
-
Determines the longest sequence of tasks within resource constraints.
-
Apply Buffers Strategically
-
Prioritize Resource Availability
-
Monitor Progress with Buffer Management
By shifting focus from task deadlines to resource flow, CCPM reduces multitasking, boosts productivity, and keeps projects on track despite constraints.
