Hi, Folks It really helps to get your minds around an ongoing system, and to keep it simple. I concluded long ago that when you take the long range view, it ...
Hit the wrong key. sorry Richard, Your analysis is incisive and insightful. Really well thought out! Can it be summed up as "Use simulations and projected cash...

Hi, Richard Consider organizations of thousands of people with dozens of skills and projects. How do all resources know, all the time, "Which task do I work on...
Basic adult learning theory, which has seldom failed in my experience, although it maybe that I am expecting it and don't see the non-conforming cases: over...
Hi, Doug John Kotter's research supports your experience. He suggests four types of emotional responses that can lead to alternative non- changing behavior,...
I'd tell you the answer, but it would sound like a commercial for cc-Pulse and cc-MPulse. Tony Rizzo TMx gives you _better_plans_ for your critical-chain...
Hi, Tony Just the logic of it would do for a start. Assuming it would make sense logically (because I think that highly likely, coming from you), you know my...
... Protection ratio for a project: (buffer remaining) / (fully sized buffer for remaining work). Scott designed the measurement, not I. He very cleverly used...
The most important question to address in multi-project critical chain is, "how is my system of projects doing?" Since the performance of the system is...
I just wanted to say that I completely agree with Larry, that in making the transition to CC PM from traditional PM, the gain is so huge from the elimination...
I just want to say that I completely agree with Larry that you absolutely have to watch the buffer status of your projects, and if a project gets in trouble,...
Hi, Tony The grouping and sorting is similar to what Conceto and CCPM+ do,and to a Script that Scott prepared for a joint client using Sciforma software. I...
Hi, Richard Different roles in the project system have different questions, and thus need different information (as in Eli's defintion: the answer to the...
Hi, Richard In P&Q, you are deciding which items to make. It is the equivalent to deciding which projects to approve. We agree that project benefit and drum...
Larry, Not every decision regarding which task to work next involves a critical-chain task. There's a need for a criterion with which to choose among...

Hi, Jim I have never had the case you think "most likely" for step 2. There is always a real drum. How can there not be? Why invalidate the whole basis of TOC...
Hi, Jim I have also come to realize your point 4 is wrong relative to feeding buffers. The role of feeding buffers is to, uh, buffer. They are not necessary...
Hi, Jim So, how do we resolve the apparant conflict of my assertion that "there is always a drum", and your point 5, "there is always excess capacity"? The...

Hi, Jim That VV model doesn't meet any of the project environments I work in or have worked in. You seem to be trying to apply a production model to projects. ...
Hi, Again Jim Oh, and I have done a few (4 or 5) product development environment implementations. They had internal resource constraints, too. I do not claim...
