Title: Critical Chain Project Management - Optimizing Projects for Speed and On-time delivery This presentation answers the question why senior executives should care about Critical Chain. By introducing Critical Chain project management companies are able to reduce cycle time by +15% in the first year. On-time delivery rates of projects are in the +95%. How is this possible? This presentation discusses the differences between Critical Chain project management and conventional scheduling approaches. Dr. Scherer gives an overview of key concepts of Critical Chain Project Management. He reveals implementation strategies on how to introduce rapid and reliable project management in large scale project-driven organizations.
