Project Manage
 
The havoc and disruption of Covid19, has reinforced our need to effectively respond with new ways of conducting our businesses with updated services and products.
 
An innovative and novel approach applied to the realm of safety buffers on a project's critical path. In contradiction to traditional thinking, Constraint Innovation not only claims that individual task safety buffers don't assist in meeting schedules, they, hinder the meeting of schedules on time. The answer rests in the implementation of a Project Buffer rather than Task Buffers, which provides a cost-effective solution that focuses on the project's true critical path.

The learning goes on to focus on Project Bottlenecks. The methodology is based on the building blocks of Constraint Innovation that are distilled in a 5-step process:
  • Identifying the constraint (i.e. the "Bottleneck")
  • Exploiting the constraint (i.e. not wasting the bottleneck to " get 100% use of the constraint)
  • Subordinating to the constraint (i.e. "Rearrange others to what you need to maintain 100% of the constraint")
  • Elevating the constraint (i.e. "Innovate to get greater than 100%)
  • Identifying the new constraint - continual improvement loop.
The learning material goes on to expand beyond the single project to address the more challenging area of a dynamic multi-project environment. The powerful methodology is known as Drum – Buffer – Rope (DBR) is adapted to a multi-project environment. The essence of DBR is to stagger the commencement of projects under the pace of the overriding system constraint together with practical procedures that mitigate the evils of bad multi-tasking.
