Goldratts novels have traditionally slain sacred cows and delivered new ways of looking at processes which seem like common sense once you read them. Critical Chain is no exception. In perhaps Elis most readable book yet  two of the established principles of project management  the engineering estimate and project milestones  are found wanting and dismissed  and other established principles are up for scrutiny - as Goldratt once more applies his Theory of Constraints. The approach is radical  yet clear  understandable and logical. New techniques are introduced  and Project Buffers  Feeding Buffers  Limit Multitasking  Improved Communications and Correct Measurements make them work. Goldratt even handles the complicated statistics of dispersed variability versus accumulated variability so deftly you wont even be aware of learning about them - they ll just seem like more common sense! Critical Chain is critical reading for anyone who deals with projects. If you use block diagrams  drawings or charts to keep track of your activities  you are managing a project - and this book is for you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45789847093301,"sku":"ByrdShop_0566080389","price":47.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780566080388.jpg?v=1784700465","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/critical-chain-9780566080388","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
