Surname Instructor Course Date The Three-Step Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) Approach to Project Management Critical chain project management also often denoted as CCPM is a method used for not only managing but also planning for projects (Ghaffari and Emsley 48). It mainly emphasizes on the resources to be used in the process of undertaking a project. These resources include physical space equipment as well as human capital (Ghaffari and Emsley 48). Eliyahu Goldratt is credited for developing CCPM. Unlike other traditional project management methods CCPM requires that resources be leveled (Ghaffari and Emsley 49). At the same time it requires that resources be flexible at the start of a project. Many project managers prefer the method because it enables them to have shorter and more predictable project lead times (Golini Kalchschmidt and This characteristic ensures that a project managed through the CCPM approach does not affect others. In conclusion CCPM minimizes multitasking while conventional techniques such as CPPM treat multitasking as a common phenomenon (Shurrab and Abbasi 82). By minimizing multitasking project schedule durations can be reduced by up to 40 percent. Works Cited Ghaffari Mahdi and Margaret W. Emsley.
