Jim, I did not state that I suggest some new paradigm. More than that - I state that CCPM did not suggest new paradigm. You wrote that you have read my...
Jim, some responses to your remarks. ¡±1) Resource Critical Path is the same as Critical Chain. The difference - since 1993 (when Spider Project software was...
Hi, Vladimir Some questions to clarify: 1. How does your approach ensure synchronizing tasks and resources; i.e. what is your counterpart to the function of...
Hi Larry, thank you for your questions. I will put my answers in your text. ... resources; i.e. what is your counterpart to the function of feeding and...
Hi, Vladimir Thanks for your thorough reply. My general impression is that you are indeed doing many of the things that CCPM seeks to do behaviorially, and...
Hi.. my name is hadi know i'm in my last yaer at college, for know i'm doing my final project, and my topic is about monte carlo simulation in assesing risk...
My comments are inserted in the post below. Prasad ... PV: It is not true. You can apply to any project if you can assign probability distributions for task...
Hi, All See www.PertMaster.com. You can download a free copy that works with ten activities...enough to experiment with and learn from. Be sure to browse the...
Hadi, check out the whitepapers and other materials on http://www.decisioneering.com http://www.palisade.com/riskproject/ Also, see if you can get ahold of...
I second the whitepapers at both those sites. For a free montecarlo simulator which uses MS Project and Excel (durations only, but unlimited tasks) you can go...
Vladimir - ... Probably I missed something here. In various places, including your "success driven" presentation, you talk about probabilities. Do you then ...
Hi, Vladimir Sorry for the delay...I wanted to go back and look at your presentation. It is excellent. I think it might be best to start at the top...with the...
Hi Jack, Although I have not tested your Mote Carlo simulation tool, I guess it is good enough for students to practice MC in project management without any...
Vladimir, Please, give serious and careful attention to Larry's latest post or two on this thread. He said some important things which it took me a few months...
... Are you sure about that? Personally I think it is more suited to someone familiar with the concepts already as it does not package the results in a pretty...
Hi, Jack Will this work with MS Project 2007? I just upgraded my computers. I suspect it will, as I was pleased to find out my CCPM+ software works with no...
No reason it should not work. Off the top of my head I can't think of any methods that were removed in going to Proj 2007. There MAY be a change in Excel 2007...
Hi Rob, Our customers create large computer models and Monte Carlo simulation is not feasible for the projects of the typical size. It is very time consuming...

Hi Brian, Thank you, I pay serious attention to all Larry's posts. Did you notice that besides Early and Late there are also Recommended dates? These...
Something just hit me while I was reading Brain's response and Larry's as well: Vladimir says: " We do not protect Critical Chain. It may change and I see...
Hi Adail, I agree with you that our debates are mostly cultural. But I think that cultural diversity is very good and can create new ideas and achievements. It...
Hi Mark, in the real projects there are many subcritical paths with high uncertainties. Some risk event may cause substantial delays. Why do you consider...
The constraint of a project is the definition of the critical chain. It's "critical" because it represents the LEAST amount of time to complete a project...
... This is where CC scheduling gets twisted around the axle. Unless we are assuming a deterministic schedule (the validity of which is left as an exercise for...
Vladimir, Yes, I noticed the "recommended date" option, but could not tell what it was. In context, it might have been an automated preference for "early...
OK, expecting the possible occurrence of a major risk event, you add buffer at some stage. Then, are you not losing some production when the risk event does...
Hi Vladimir, Let me add my view also. The critican chain, the shortest possible duration to complete the project, is obtained by ignoring the feasibility of...
Mark, Critical Chain duration is really minimal, but uncertainties on another paths may be nigher. In other words, optimistic, most probable and pessimistic...
