Critical Chain

So managing Schedule Risk due to Student Syndrome is very important. Goldratt's Critical Chain addresses exactly this concern. Briefly, the idea of this is:

1. Identify the system constraint.

2. Exploit the system constraint.

3. Subordinate everything else to the system constraint.

4. Elevate the system constraint, and

5. If, in the previous step, a new constraint has been uncovered, repeat the process. Do not let inertia become the system constraint.
