ALL Projects have Problems
If your organization is like many, you continue to experience failuredelivering projects to schedule, budget, and scope, and may experience cancelled projects at an alarming rate. It affects all projects from basic R&D to construction, in all industries. Those who implementCritical Chain Project Management (CCPM) report:
• Project lead time reduction – projects completed in less than 25% of benchmarked performance
• Increased output- more projects completed in thesame amount of time
• Improved resource productivity – fewer hours required to complete projects, as much as 35% fewer
• On time delivery – almost all projects completed early or on time
•Significant reductions in capital requirements – much less work in process
CCPM users also report an improved quality of work life for project team members, more meaningful work accomplished with lessfirefighting.
What’s Happening
The most common responses to late delivery during a project are to reduce scope, take features out until the next release of the product, identify some aspects are “notthat important,” or sacrifice reliability. Of course, none of these responses are acceptable for the customer or for the enterprise. Clearly, something must be done.
The most common responses tothe project management process problem are:
• Require more detailed planning
• Assign more project managers to manage smaller chunks of the project.
• Reclaim delegated authority that has beenpushed down to lower levels in the organization>
• Move accountability further down the organization.
• Re-plan the project more frequently.
• Implement sophisticated planning models
• Longer,more intense prayers!!
These approaches have been tried for years, and do not achieve the results people are looking for. These solutions simply do not address the root cause of poor project...
