Description: Following the worldwide success of his bestseller THE GOAL, Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt wrote CRITICAL CHAIN to introduce his groundbreaking approach to managing projects. In this compelling business novel, Professor Silver and his students explore ways to deliver projects on time, within budget, and without compromising the original scope. They learn how to plan single projects better, overcome the shortcomings of forecasts by managing buffers, and lay the foundation for improving project flow. Goldratt continued to analyze project delays in countless implementations over the next couple of decades. His revelations were genuinely eye-opening. Often, the leading causes for missing deadlines are not unexpected delays but hidden elements in how we manage our projects--elements that are essentially obstacles to project flow. His rules for successfully managing any multi-project environment were meant to be the subject of his next book; however, he didn't have the chance to complete it. In honor of his legacy and to advance his insights, his daughter, Dr. Efrat Goldratt-Ashlag, wrote the book GOLDRATT'S RULES OF FLOW for him.
