''Critical Chain'' is a novel by Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt using the Critical Chain theory of Project Management as the major theme. It is really a teaching method for the theory. ==Plot introduction== Like Goldratt’s book ''The Goal'', ''Critical Chain'' is written as a novel, not like a project manager's how-to guide. This book is a story about a professor trying to attain his tenure at a university's business school. The plot is used to maintain interest in the subject and provide a real life feel to the book. It provides plenty of real-world examples. The plot of the novel is fourfold: # A professor trying to become tenured, # A business school's struggle to improve enrollment, # Teaching philosophy, # Applying the Theory of Constraints to project management The goal of the book is the last point, but Goldratt makes it clear that educational systems must change to better accommodate the quickly changing world of business. The book walks the reader through a series of steps to establish the principles for the discussion. It is written for someone with a modicum of project management background. The book starts by pointing out the problems with how time estimates are normally done on projects. It then provides a primer on the Theory of Constraints and an example of its implementation in a steel mill. With the foundation set, it proceeds to show how the Theory of Constraints can be applied to schedule generation, resources constraints and multiple projects. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Critical Chain (novel)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
