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
-
Exploit the system constraint.
-
Subordinate everything else to the system constraint.
-
Elevate the system constraint, and
-
If, in the previous step, a new constraint has been uncovered, repeat the process. Do not let inertia become the system constraint.
