Improving project management through the synthesis of three areas of knowledge, this book provides an understanding of the project system via the perspectives gained through the A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK(TM) Guide)--2000 Edition, total quality management (TQM), and the theory of constraints (TOC). By allowing you to plan and manage projects with successful results in half the time you're used to, this book teaches a project planning and control method that's been proven to succeed. Providing not just theory, but also tools and techniques needed to implement critical chain project management, you'll learn how to develop both a single project critical chain plan and an enterprise multi-project critical chain plan, to apply measurements and controls, and to implement change and risk management to the critical chain.
