Course Overview
In this crash course learn how to deliver Projects successfully using TOC's Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM)
We live in the world of projects, but do you wonder why most of the projects finish late, over budget or with a compromised scope. Theory of Constraint's CCPM (Critical Chain Project Management) is all about clearing this mystery and finding an effective yet simpler way to manage projects successfully.
The single project and multi project CCPM solutions of TOC are being used worldwide by many fortune 500 companies manage projects. This course intends to introduce the Project management students and professionals to CCPM, the breakthrough way of TOC to manage projects.
In this course we will discuss the basic TOC concepts followed by project management fundamentals. We will take real life examples to understand how to plan a project and create a project network. We will also discuss the CPM and PERT for project scheduling before discussing the CCPM (Critical Chain Project Management) solution of TOC.
The course evolves from the discussion on problems and dissatisfaction in our current way of managing projects. The root causes of the problems are discussed and the CCPM solution is proposed as a way to overcome the problems of traditional project management practices. Once we discuss all the solution elements of CCPM, the implementation of the same is discussed in detail for a single project environment and multi project environment.
This course is intended to help all project management students and professionals explore a new way of managing projects, the TOC way.

The content is concise and powerful. Extremely dense and effective presentation of project management in general, and an illuminating presentation of CCPM in particular. The quizzes, however ... well, were confusing at best, contradicted the material at worst. But overall, what I gained from the course outweighed any deficiencies in that regard. Very well spent couple of hours, IMHO.
