List any three criticisms of critical chain project management and rank them in order from the greatest to smallest threat to universal adoption of CCPM
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary with respect to rankings. The perceived weaknesses mentioned in the text are:
Lack of project milestones make coordinated scheduling with external suppliers problematic.
The lack of suitability for all types of projects and blatant repackaging of existing techniques is a concern.
The technique's usefulness at the program level has not been proven.
Concrete evidence of its success is almost exclusively anecdotal.
CCPM has not been shown to be a complete solution to current project management needs.
The CCPM stance on activity duration estimation padding is undocumented and excessive.
The shift required in corporate culture to eliminate buffers from activity estimates and create an environment of zero blame may be insurmountable.
