Critical Chain Project Management CCPM

About this template

This slide lays out Critical Chain Project Management as a network diagram with three parallel paths. The central critical chain is highlighted and carries numbered task circles, a resource buffer and a project buffer between the Start and End boxes. Two side paths, one above and one below, each end in a feeding buffer that joins the main chain. A definition of critical chain sits under the title. Use it to explain task dependency, resource availability and buffer placement, or to contrast CCPM with the Critical Path Method. The numbers, labels, colors and text can all be edited.
