Critical Chain Project Management

[pmhut]

Hi All, since the Project Management board is nearly empty (with the exception of one thread), I've decided to introduce an article about Critical Chain Project Management: http://www.pmhut.com/critical-chain-benefits-from-traditional-pm .The article researches a way of integrating the benefits of Critical Chain into Traditional Project Management.

Thank you -- this article is highly interesting, and prompts me to ask: Suppose the project manager is using Microsoft Project (or one of many other similar software tools). Does MS Project have a canonical way of specifying "Task A is 'dessert'" (to use the metaphor in the article) and should be undertaken only if Task B ("meat") is complete, or X% complete by date Y, or some other context-reasonable criterion?

Hi ewilliams,

Sorry for the late reply. I have no idea if this is possible in MS Project. I use a somehow older version of MS Project and I try my best to avoid tinkering with its advanced features (my version has only 1 undo, so you an imagine).
