Critical Chain Project Management

Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) is a method of managing projects, where the attention is focused on the resources needed to execute various project tasks. In comparison to traditional project management methods that have its origins in critical path and PERT algorithms, where the emphasis is put on the order of tasks and strict schedules. The typical critical chain project network attempt to keep resources levelly loaded, but requires that they are flexible in start times. Additionally a quick switch between tasks and task chains is desirable to make sure the project is on schedule.
