Hi, Jim I am not sure that they will need CC for the next phase. It is useful now because it gets them looking forward. Their current system doesn't let them...

I've just about finished reading Jelena Fedurko's new book "Behind the Cloud". It's a very hands on book which explains, by example, how to construct and...
Hi, Jim If you like to consider it something like whatever they mean by that it is OK with me. I consider it Engineering and PM 101 stuff. Alas just being part...
Larry, I¹m taking a position without knowing nearly as much about the company as you do, but I have to question your assumption that operating to Full Kit has...
Hi Steve Are you trying to destroy Larry's ego? How could he operate as a (TOC) Project Management (PMI) expert if you take away his belief in his uniqueness? ...
Hi, Steve I don't have a need for ideas like "full kit" which seem to me to be simply reinventing and renaming things that have been around forever. Most...
Hi, Jim While I certainly agree that there is a growing TOC body of knowledge I fear it may give the wrong impression to call it a "BOK" in the context of the...
... So Cloves is correct that Critical Chain is “straight to project” but my argument has been that this is not useful. In my view Critical Chain is what...
Larry I don't have a lot of time to reply fully to this post today but the notion that DBR and Kanban are pull systems is erroneous - they are "Don't push" ...
Hi, Jim I don't follow your comment. It seems to me that from the constraint position in DBR it is a pull system...that is what the rope does. It also seems to...
Jim and Larry, The apparent disagreement is being created by the imprecise language. Switch to the precisely defined language of engineering, and everything...
Hi All, Here's some Anderson comments about "Project Management Paradigm" "Scrum like all early (first generation) Agile methods really do not change the...
Pablo, Surely it's been shown many times that local optimization (e.g. cost of delay for each item individually) generally leads to considerable overall ...
Kik, In fact, Anderson's comments seems to criticize the use of traditional project planning (including CCPM) as a multi-project solution. I don't think he...
Hi, Tony Yes, it helps to define terms. You provide a meaningful definition of "Pull" as a feedback system. In that sense CC Pipelining isn't a short-term...
I've been lurking on the list for some time reading the interesting discussions. You can say I'm an Agile/Kanban guy but am really interested in the connection...
... i can sorta understand the words, but i don't get any "ah hah!" out of it. apologies for being generally thick in the head. any examples per chance? might...
Hello Larry, Where projects are concerned, the time-constant is much longer than that of production systems. However, the feedback loop is still there; it...
Larry Tony - thanks for the engineering explanation - I'll have to work on that next week. This is one you should work out for yourself - there is a reference...
Hi, Tony I only know of one recent attempt to do that directly. The notion was to start a new project when one completed. From my information it failed. I...
Hi, Jim Uh...I think that is what a pull system is. So I still don't understand why you say, "the notion that DBR and Kanban are pull systems is erroneous ". ...
Trying again.... The main thing to do here is start to look at Features or smaller end to end work items as the item for which you measure WIP, lead time,...
Two things: 1. Although I have enormous respect for both David Anderson (i've known him since 2004 and run several events with him) and Don Reinertsen (I...
Clarke, I'm very interested in some elaboration where u see the inaccuracies. I agree with you that Davids Kanban and TOC are very aligned. Thanks, Yuval On...
I can't speak for David, but I've also partnered with him in Brazil some years ago and we are both FDD enthusiasts. From what I've heard from him personally he...
Hi, Adail and Others One of the reasons I was surprised by David's turnabout is that I have recommended his first book because it promotes Critical Chain as...
