The document discusses using Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) to reduce lead times in a multi-project environment through buffer management and enforcing global priorities. It covers the technical aspects of CCPM including fever charts, single priority systems, buffering and pipelining. The benefits of CCPM are listed as shorter lead times, optimal resource utilization, focused management attention, and synchronized efforts through self-organization around global priorities. The different types of buffers - project, feeding, resource and protective capacity - are defined and explained in detail along with how they are used.
A presentation by Gary Palmer, made at the APM South Wales and West of England branch seminar 'Project Controls: A 1 day Seminar' on Wednesday, 2nd October 2013
This is the special presentation for Critical Chain which is written by Eliyahu Goldratt. It was prepared by Industrial Engineering Students in Marmara University.
If your projects involve other companies doing most of the work, then this presentation can open the door to faster, better and less expensive projects. You don't have to spend more to get your project sooner. Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) has worked wonders in many industries..but has not had much impact in sectors such as construction. We think we know why. Take a look ad let us know what you think www.profitableprojects.org

This presentation was given by Gary Palmer on Wednesday 2nd April 2014. Airbus in Bristol very kindly hosted the event which was well attended by almost 80 of the local APM membership and project management community.
An introductory-level presentation to critical chain project management (CCPM), primarily aimed at those new to the subject.
Critical chain project management (CCPM) is fast emerging as a major step change in project management, dramatically improving project speed and predictability. Although currently relatively little-known in the UK, it has become well-established and highly successful in America, India and Japan, and is predicted to become a dominant methodology within the next few years.
CCPM changes many typical project management practices and behaviours, and by these changes removes the in-built inefficiencies in ‘traditional’ project management, enabling projects to run faster and with more effective protection against uncertainty, whilst providing much improved visibility of progress and monitoring both at the single project and multi-project (programme and portfolio) levels.
This presentation introduces the main principles of CCPM and compares and contrasts them with current project management practices, with an overview of CCPM’s history and development, use of the methods in programme and portfolio situations, current adoption in industry, and implementation considerations.

Improving Focus and Predictability on Projects with Critical Chain Project Ma...Joe Cooper
This presentation was delivered at the 2013 PMI Central Indiana Professional Development Day in Carmel, IN on October 4th. The title, "Improving Focus and Predictability on Projects with Critical Chain Project Management". The presenter, Joe Cooper, is with Allegient LLC in Indianapolis. A similar presentation will be given at PMI Global Congress in New Orleans on October 29th, 2013.
On October 14, 2015, Michael Gill gave a presentation entitled "The Process of Communication, A Practical Guide for Project Managers." Communication is not about knowing the process. Communication is about managing the process. A successful project manager communicates effectively by setting and managing expectations throughout the lifecycle of a project and, by doing so, creates redundancy in a fluid industry. The importance of a simple and redundant communication framework cannot be overstated. Referencing my book, The Process of Communication, I will focus on the role of pre-production and the importance of Requirements Gathering, establishing a teams Level of Effort, communicating Assumptions and through the development of these tools establishing a realistic Timeline. I will speak about how all of these deliverables are used to manage clients expectations as obstacles arise and requirements change.
This presentation explores the reasons why software projects are significantly more difficult to manage than other types of projects. Software-specific issues related to scope, resources, and time are explored, as well as how software projects differ from other projects in the physical world. An argument for why software constitutes a “Wicked Problem” is expanded, and numerous software development myths are attacked with real-world anecdotes and solutions.
Join Catherine Roy, Director of PMO at HOSTING, and Kellen Amobi, Project Manager at HOSTING, on June 23 at 3 pm EST for Cloud Migration: Tales from the Trenches – an interactive webinar, in which they will discuss:
-Developing scopes and deadlines for complex projects
-Developing realistic schedules
-How to approach and define problems for c-level and team members

Webinar: How to Create a Disaster Recovery (DR) Plan that Actually WorksStorage Switzerland
Disaster Recovery plans have always been hard to create and maintain in part because it is difficult to meet the service levels that those plans promise. With recent trends like GDPR and ransomware threats, it is even more difficult for DR plans to live up to expectations.
Join Storage Switzerland’s Founder and Lead Analyst, George Crump, and Commvault’s Director of Product Management, Deepak Verma and learn:
1. What new trends and threats promise to break your current DR process
2. How to simplify creation and maintenance of your DR plan
3. How to meet the service levels that your DR plan commits you to
