I am in the process of learning the old fashion way (that would be manually) how to develop a Critical chain plan. I have used several texts as a guide....
Congrats Doug. you've discovered some of the issues between the CC theory and "where the rubber meets the road". You highlight some of the decisions that have...
Just one other comment. I seem to recall seeing a spreadsheet that will calculate the Critical Chain for you in Excel. Don't remember where but I think that...
One correction. There is a typo in the URL, should be........html....no "as". Using my "stealth hacking" techniques I was able to find it <grin>. Thanks for...
Richard, you did not answer my question, so I will paraphrase it: Do you know an algorithm for calculating Critical Chain without creating project schedule? ...
Hi Vladimir, I did ask the forum a few times how a critical chain is derived without any resource-constrained scheduling logic. I do not remember any...
Hi Prasad, thank you for the references. I will look at the previous discussions later. It is late here and tomorrow morning I will leave to COS conference in...
Vladimir and Prasad Why don’t you guys sign up for Dr Goldratt’s webcast on Critical Chain Project Management – once you’ve heard his 5x2hr sessions...
I read all correspondence and found it very interesting but at which stage is risk considered in establishing CC PM? If we consider that tasks have a degree...
I suggest that you look back to Frank Patrick's website (the founder of this list)- he produced a paper many years ago on how TOC project management deals with...
If we would really know how to deal with risks and use properly information, the entire world would be in a better position; oil price would not reach current...
... There is nothing in TOC or in the critical-chain model, which explicitly addresses risk, or uncertainty of outcome. The critical-chain model improves upon...
Richard, <snip> This is also why it is possible (I did NOT say recommended) to do CC PM with any basic PM software that determines a resource constrained ...
Richard It is clear to me that your route into Project Management the TOC way is very different to mine. The person who first introduced me to the ideas was ...
Richard asked: [REZ] And was Tony's pivotal role in the development of multi-project CC PM even mentioned? JMB Yes because we were given his first programme...
Richard, I think we both have a serious difference of opinion about the capability of MS Project to generate a resource-constrained critical path. A project...
... ...then I am confused as well, Vladimir. Please provide clarity. What is _your_ definition of the "resource-critical path?" Tony Rizzo [Non-text portions...
Hi Tony, The following is a description of resource-constrained critical path in my own confusing words. When we schedule each task of a project as early as...
Hello Prasad, Some refer to that, which you describe, as the critical chain. Perhaps the confusion, from which Richard and I suffer, is due to the variety of ...
Hi Tony, If there is any confusion due to the variety of definitions for the same thing, then let us all blame the person who ignored the concepts that were...
Prasad I'm not sure blame needs to be allocated anywhere. Eli himself acknowledges that Critical Path originally referred to the longest sequence of activities...
Thank you Prasad. The clarity is useful. Fixing blame is of little value, particularly since the single-project model is obsolete, be it of the Path flavor...
Prasad - ... I would say it was meaningless at the time he wrote it. If you take "robust" to mean "commercially viable," "widely applicable," "practical," etc....
Thought some of you might find this note - from another group - interesting. ... From: Ted Young <tedyounglist@...> Date: Sat, May 3, 2008 at 8:22 PM ...
