report reviews the Critical Chain approach to project management as proposed by Dr Eliyahu Goldratt (1997). The approach is based on the Theory of Constraints (TOC). The report finds the following: Conventional techniques (Critical Path Method‚ PERT) often fall short of delivering projects on time and within budget. Traditional approaches have two main problems: o Three mechanisms exist which create excessive project ‘safety time’. o Three mechanism exist which waste the created ‘safety time’
