Critical Chain
4.33/5
Read this if
- “I always finish at the deadline no matter how much time I had.”
- “I'm juggling three projects and all three are late.”
- “I pad every estimate and still run over.”
What it’s about
- Projects run late because of how people use safety time: the student syndrome (start at the last moment) and work expanding to fill the estimate.
- Multitasking across projects is the hidden project killer.
- One shared buffer at the end of the chain beats padding every task.
