Critical Chain

Critical Chain

Eliyahu M. Goldratt

The second* of Eliyahu M. Goldratt’s series, Critical Chain focuses on project management and delivery, providing a great view into some of the ways that projects fail through bloat and missed deadlines, and suggesting ways to apply the Theory of Constraints to the problems of how to deliver projects on time and within budget.

While not as groundbreaking as The Goal, there are still some valuable and broadly applicable lessons in here, delivered in an interesting and engaging story.

* The first is The Goal, a novel which introduces The Theory of Constraints.
