Critical Chain Method

The Critical Chain Method (CCM) is a project management approach that focuses on identifying and managing the longest sequence of dependent tasks, called the critical chain, to complete a project on time. It buffers uncertainties by adding safety margins only where needed, preventing delays caused by overly cautious estimates. By concentrating on resource availability and task dependencies, CCM helps teams prioritize effectively, reduce multitasking, and improve project delivery reliability. This method encourages realistic scheduling and proactive problem-solving to ensure projects stay on track without unnecessary stress or delays.
