Get it Done On Time!: A Critical Chain Project Management/Theory of Constraints Novel

Abstract

This book is based on actual real-world experiences and project management tools. It covers a variety of project management, Critical Chain, Theory of Constraints, and organizational adoption (buy-in) situations and concepts. It is designed to provide a fun, entertaining, and comprehensive way to learn these concepts, trigger discussions, and give you some ideas of what to look for in your organization. If you interested in the Theory of Constraints and Critical Chain, this book will provide a great overview of the various concepts, how they can be imple-mented in real-world situations, and the buy-in required when putting these (or any) project management tools into place. If you are interested in learning more about project management and are familiar with other tools and techniques, you should find the examples and situations in the stories familiar and compelling. You should be able to see common project management challenges, look at what tools you are familiar with and how they could apply, and then see how they compare or comple-ment the tools and approaches the characters use to implement, gain adop-tion, and gain success in your organization. To help with understanding the concepts introduced in each chapter, a series of concept summaries and optional discussion questions are provided in the appendix.
