About this Presentation
For critical chain project management (CCPM) to become the “main way” for project management, it must offer superior results to all project managers on all types of projects, in all project domains. Otherwise, it will be seen as a specialty method, only applicable for certain types of projects. Over the past twenty years, CCPM has had success with certain types of projects, “schedule-first” projects, such as construction and maintenance-repair-overhaul (MRO) projects. Now, can the power of CCPM be extended to projects where goals other than schedule come first, such as value-first new product fevelopment (NPD) projects? Scope: CCPM has also succeeded in single-project environments (S-P CCPM), and multi-project environments (M-P CCPM). Can CC PM be extended “upstream” to strategic project planning, and portfolio packaging? (Strategic CCPM) Tools: to address new types of projects, and new scopes, additional tools are required, such as the Customer Value tree Case Study: The Melissa case study.
What Will You Learn
To help you get the most value from this session, we’ve highlighted a few key points. These takeaways capture the main ideas and practical insights from the presentation, making it easier for you to review, reflect, and apply what you’ve learned.
Richard Zaltner emphasizes the need for Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) to address all types of projects across all domains to become the main method for project management.
Strategic front-end planning is a necessary prerequisite to doing multi-project CCPM and can help lock in the thinking required for a paradigm shift in project management.
In new product development projects, understanding and meeting customer needs is a priority. The project's success is determined by the customer in the marketplace.
