Critical Chain Project Management was developed and publicized by Dr. Eliyahu M. Goldratt in 1997. Followers of this methodology of Project Management claim it to be an alternative to the established standard of Project Management as advocated by PMBOK® and other standards of Project Management. In this article, we’ll provide a brief overview of the principles of Critical Chain Project Management – CCPM course 2023 and certification cost applicability to managing projects across all organizations and verticals.
The Critical Chain Method has its roots in another one of Dr. Goldratt’s inventions: the Theory of Constraints (TOC). This project management method comes into force after the initial project schedule is prepared, which includes establishing task dependencies. The evolved critical path is reworked based on the Critical Chain Method. To do so, the methodology assumes constraints related to each task.

CCPM stands for Critical Chain Project Management.
Theory of Constraints is the concept behind this new technique.
The strength of a chain is in its weakest link. It means, the strength is not primarily based on the material of construction or on the thickness of the metal, but the weakest link decides how much load the chain can withstand.
Every business enterprise comprises of multiple functions. Each business function is run using multiple business processes. These business processes are interrelated and interdependent.
Only when all interdependent processes are performed, the inputs can be translated into products and/or services to complete the fulfilment of the order to the customer.
Can these interrelated business processes be considered as a chain with the processes as links? If any of the business processes, is not able to deliver its intended output, that becomes a bottleneck to the entire flow, affecting the throughput of system.
In order to improve the throughput, we should identify the bottleneck process. This concept can be applied to all business functions across an enterprise.
The application of the “theory of constraints ( TOC) ” in Project Management is called “Critical Chain Project Management”.
Yes. Proventures recommends “Prochain scheduler” ( https://www.prochain.com/ ), if you are using Microsoft Project as a scheduling tool. It is an add-in to MS Project, that creates Critical Chain Schedule and helps to apply all CCPM principles and practices.
Critical Chain scheduling helps to embrace uncertainties and turning them to opportunities instead of treating them as threats. Customers who use CCPM scheduling, demonstrate 15 to 25% reduction in cycle time up their projects compared to conventional scheduling methods.
