"Benefits of Critical Chain approach:
* Improved employee satisfaction- not hard pressed to meet a “date” and “no multi-tasking” results in less confusion.
* Increased employee willingness to ask for help.
* Technical leads can focus on the tasks and mentoring of team members vs. CAM activities."Honeywell Project Manager
