Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM)

bullet1 Subordinate
bullet2 Merging Chains

bullet3 Needs to be done   Feeding Buffers

Feeding buffers ensure that all inputs are necessary when a task on the critical chain has the input from its critical chain successor. Feeding buffers go between all paths that parallel the critical chain and the point at which they tie in to the critical chain.


Size feeding buffers like the project buffer, but consider the uncertainty in the longest feeding path to the buffer.


Measure and control to feeding buffers as if they were project buffers for the feeding chain...using the same action criteria.
