The right solutions start with the right questions:
- How to identify the critical chain in a project?
- Which activities and resources represent bottlenecks in the project?
- What is the longest sequence of dependent activities that determine the total duration of the project?
- What are the dependencies between activities and how do they affect the progress of the project?
- How to effectively manage buffers in a project?
- What type of buffer is appropriate for the project?
- What is the optimal buffer size to minimize risks and delays?
- How to monitor and analyze buffer consumption and identify potential problems?
- How to manage resources in a project?
- How to ensure that critical resources are fully utilized and not working on non-critical activities?
- How to synchronize resource work with the critical chain and minimize multitasking?
- How to effectively allocate resources between projects and prevent conflicts?
- How to plan and manage risks in a project?
- How to account for uncertainties and risks in project planning and scheduling?
- How to identify and prioritize risks that could compromise the critical chain?
- What strategies and tools can be used to mitigate risks and minimize their impact?
- What are the specific project management and engineering tools and techniques to use?
