Yes - For a 2 minute demonstration I use the 3 projects (1) writing the letters A-J (2) the numbers 1-10 (3) Roman Numerals I-X. Multitasking I go across A -...
Jon, That feels ever so slightly ingeniously simple. Impressed! I like how you've incorporated the switching time. Apart from it taking longer do you include...

Hi, Kevin, Jon et. al. With large groups, I use the paper ripping exercise, which I think I learned from Rob Newbold somewhere back in time. I include a...
Kevin, For product/process improvement projects, I've used a simple digital simulation. To seed the simulation, I generate a bar chart showing the damage...
What I do is slightly different. I get one of the participants who firmly believes that multi-tasking is good. I give him a starting number (say 47) and ask...
Clarke, If people are both interchangeable (all have SOME capability at every type of work required for the two tasks AND all work at the same speed as the...
I too like the simplicity of this exercise, because you?can set it up and perform the exercise in about 2 minutes, sitting at the desk of someone you're trying...
The columns tend to be straight in non-multitasking and not so many corrections are needed -- Jon Cook, PhD., PMP. ... Something is also needed to show that...
... <snip> I am working on a webcast on multitasking. I have the entire thing on video, but I haven't begun editing it yet. I could speed the editing process...

Beats ME how this is suppossed to "illustrate" TOC. Are you saying that this is how TOC works, i.e. if there is a variation somewhere in the flow there is...
I agree, GK! This video can be used as an illustration of a bufferless operation... :) Everything is so tightly synchronized that any variation in the line...
Hello, Group! I've written an article entitled "TOC in Color", where I propose the use of color when building and communicating the trees of the Thinking...
Back in 1997 I assisted a team build a CRT for Turnarounds – they had 64 UDEs that they wished to show in the CRT. I got them to represent each “branch –...
Hi, All As most of you know, the resource buffer initially was a pseudo-buffer: an information lead for resources performing critical chain activities, to...
Hallo all, I can not find the diffrence between critical chain project management (CCPM) and the resource contstraint project scheuduling problem in single and...
Hi everyone, I've just had a proposal accepted for me to run a 90 minute workshop at an agile conference in London this november. I want to use the session to...
Hi Clarke wrote: My problem is that I only proposed the session because I liked the title - developers may be from mars, customers may be from venus ... But...
Hi, Fred Thanks for asking. There are several things you have to get your mind around to get this. The first is that CCPM is a project delivery system, not a ...
Clarke I like your concept. IMHO, the key to executing it effectively would be to devise a plan that enables you to convert random answers into useful ones. ...
Larry - ... ProChain Pipeline and Enterprise can both propagate cross-project resource contention in the way your're talking about, for resources designated as...
Justin, From my experience, most people in the Agile software development community wouldn't look at Critical Chain as an Agile methodology. I've been arguing...
True But if Clarke follows the process he proposes, he will expose the deterministic approach as the core problem and present CCPM as a solution that is in...
Hi, Rob Thanks for your information. Thanks also for your important questions. I suspect the answers may depend on the situation. Perhaps for most cases,...
