Mukhtar Kadiri hosts PM Therapy, a podcast where project and program managers have candid conversations about the invisible challenges they face, what it truly takes to succeed, and the lessons that are often overlooked.
The February 12, 2026 session will feature Philip Marris introducing the power of Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) and the Theory of Constraints (TOC).
These approaches are known for helping projects finish on time and within budget, reducing delays, fostering team collaboration, and, above all, restoring confidence in project success.
How?
The Critical Chain method focuses on project constraints: the longest sequence of activities that determines their duration.
It also offers best practices and tools: reducing multitasking, avoiding the "student syndrome," and implementing a Fever Chart to track project progress.
Combined with the concepts of the Theory of Constraints—that there is a capacity constraint somewhere limiting the overall throughput of the company, i.e., the number of projects that can be carried out in parallel and completed—Critical Chain transforms project portfolio management.
Philip started his Theory Of Constraints journey in 1986 when he joined Creative Output and worked with Eliyahu Goldratt, the founder of TOC and author of the worldwide bestseller “The Goal”. In 1994 he wrote a bestselling TOC textbook in French.
He is also a recognized Lean expert and combines Lean (Manufacturing/Engineering/Management) with TOC. He founded Marris Consulting based in Paris France in 2005.
Half their business is outside of France in Europe and the rest of the world. He is bilingual and bi-cultural French/English. He is very active in the TOC community. He has implemented TOC over 350 times in over 30 countries. His clients include: Air France, ArcelorMittal, Ariane Group, Embraer, GSK, McDonald's, Louis Vuitton, Procter & Gamble, Safran, Salzgitter-Mannesmann, Siemens, SKF, Thales and Zodiac Aerospace.
