About this Presentation
The theory of constraints critical chain project management (CCPM) as a method to improve and to accelerate project delivery can't be seen in isolation. This method only will succeed when senior management endorses the approach and when the individual employee understands the behavioral consequences. At senior management level a sound governance process is a precondition for a successful outcome of implementing CCPM. After all, priority setting is key and that must start at the top level of the organization. The people who work day-to-day in a CCPM environment might have to change their attitude and their usual practices. New values and goals must be introduced and this change process needs to be guided. This presentation addresses two topics that are preconditions for implementing CCPM: governance and the individual change process. The story is based on a CCPM implementation in a multi-project information technology (IT) environment.
