Nothing to be sorry about :) ... The critical chain of a project is not necessarily related to the most loaded resource of the pool. The relationship would be...
Hi, Santiago I am going to ask you to think about this. Here are several starting questions. What do you think is the problem? Why, in your understanding of...
Thanks Larry. I think the problem could be: IF tasks that need to be performed by the drum finish earlier than expected AND the drum has other tasks programmed...
MPM assumes that there are resource constraints across projects. If that is not true, you're not really doing MPM - you have a lot of individual projects. I...
All these discussions on the level of detailing of networks are interesting but in my view a bit unrealistic . CCPM is based on the management of resources...
Hi, Santiago Yes, that is good enough to work with. If you check out queuing theory, you will find that matching capacity of a resource to the work load...
While we are all on the topic of task estimation, I have one. What is your recommendation for doing task estimations for projects that are mostly R&D? For...
Hi, Santiago I'd rather you did your own research on this. But, I will share a little explanation I use. It isn't exactly what happens, but makes the point...
Hi! If the variation for a task is higher, then I would expect a greater difference between the average duration estimate and the safe duration estimate for...

At 95% capacity, if you lose one day it will take you 20 days to recover (since 5% is 1/20th of a day). This assumes that you will dawdle all next month like...
Larry, Isn't the capacity constraint the result of a measurement to a static process? Machine-like operations may be fixed upon the capacity of the machine....
Hi, Peter Yes. That's why I noted the simple example isn't exactly what happens, but just an illustration of how queues grow towards infinity as protective...
Question: If we say that a resource is working at "90% capacity" what does that represent? I mean, we all know there is variation in every process. Common...

Hi, Peter Ah, a brilliant question. Does it mean that the UCL, the mean, or something else is at 90%? I make the point in CCPM that we want mean estimates,...
