Critical Chain

Critical Chain is a project management method that focuses on identifying the most vital sequence of tasks that determine the project’s overall duration. It emphasizes protecting the project timeline by adding flexible buffers at key points, rather than padding individual tasks. This approach helps prevent delays, encourages teams to work efficiently without unnecessary safety margins, and ensures resources are allocated effectively. By concentrating on the critical chain, project managers can better coordinate efforts, reduce risks of procrastination, and deliver projects on time.
