Executive summary

Critical chain plans around resource constraints and replaces task-level padding with shared buffers, protecting the project end date from variation and multitasking. This is the Critical Chain Project Management from the Stratenity Library, a governed consulting deliverable that is already built for you. It gives your team the full working method for critical chain project management, and it walks through everything from the critical chain versus the critical path to resource buffers and the resource constraint. Every asset ships with a worked client example, a clear RACI, defined KPIs, and governance you can defend, so your team adapts it to a live client engagement instead of starting from a blank page.
