Critical Chain (book)

"Critical Chain" is a book by Eliyahu M. Goldratt that focuses on project management. It introduces a method that emphasizes the importance of resource availability and realistic scheduling to minimize delays. The key idea is to identify the "critical chain," which is the longest sequence of dependent tasks that determine the project's duration. By prioritizing these tasks and managing buffer times effectively, projects can be completed more efficiently. The book illustrates these concepts through a fictional narrative, making the principles more relatable and highlighting how they can enhance productivity and reduce stress in project environments.
