The Efficient way of Project Follow
up
Why project gets delayed ?
Corporate forced an unrealistic schedule to start with.
Our policy dictated to choose the cheaper vendors.
Too much reliance on the vendors progress report that on site visit
turned out to be less than accurate.
The arrogant / apathy of state government for giving land, settling
local disputes.

Taking advantage of Group Insurance
It’s something like group insurance
Effective utilization of safety
buffers
Consider an insurance analogy
3 homes need to insure against risk
The old way (CPM)
Assumes each home will suffer a serious problem
So each home self-insures
Not enough to cover a serious problem
The Critical Chain Way
Assume that not every home will get hit with a
serious problem
Pool your resources
Enough to cover a serious problem, possibly more
Why Project gets
delayed..
project constraint;
It defines its success or failure!

Constraint!
“Squeeze” the Critical Chain! Press timely
implementation (“net times!”) of all tasks lying on it!

3. Subordinate everything else in
the System to Art. 2!
