Critical Chain Project Management pdf

Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) concerns a relatively new project management method involving scheduling project activities. The method is derived from the Theory of Constraints. Although many project management professionals consider CCPM a promising method, it still isn’t widely adopted. 

A problem of CCPM adoption is that, since in a variety of occasions project workers resist working according to the principles of CCPM, it threats sustained effects of CCPM. The research focuses on how (project) workers within an organization resist the paradigm of CCPM. It includes a different perspective from other studies available.

The research findings are of a significant value to project management practitioners, by contributing to deeper insight and awareness of the elements of resistance that exist in CCPM environments. That knowledge contributes to possible adaption and possibly further adoption of CCPM.
