Theory of Constraints, Critical Chain Project Management, Lean : industry consulting & training - Marris Consulting
Critical Chain VS Critical Path by Ian Heptinstall
The differences between Critical Chain and Critical Path
Philip Marris and Ian Heptinstall, Professor of Project Management at the University of Birmingham, compare Critical Chain and Critical Path.
There is often a great deal of confusion between the two due to their technical similarities, but there are differences between Chain and Critical Path.
For Ian Heptinstall, if the Critical Path only takes resources into account to a limited extent, while the Critical Chain focuses on resource management, the main difference lies in the way the Critical Chain takes into account the level of uncertainty and variability inherent in projects.
Thanks to the buffers built into Critical Chain scheduling, it is possible to identify problems before they have an impact on the project, facilitating the implementation of corrective actions.
