Porovnání metody kritické cesty a metody kritického řetězce

There are many methods used in project management. One of the most commonly used methods is the Critical path method (CPM). The results of applying this method to projects are unfortunately not satisfactory; project time estimates, costs and the quality of output are often not met, in many cases by 10 % or more. Many methods have been developed in an attempt to improve project performance. One of these methods is the Critical chain method (CCM). Its author, Eliyahu Goldratt, focused on aspects of projects which have been largely neglected by most of the other methods - uncertainty management and human psychology, workers' motivation etc. Today, the Critical chain method has many enthusiastic supporters so it is clear that it has helped to significantly improve project performance. The purpose of this paper is to compare both mentioned methods.
