Add Critical Chain to Your Jira
Unlock the value of CCPM that the IT sector has been longing for
Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) has become the preferred project management choice for industries with high levels of complexity and uncertainty, such as aerospace, defense, construction, pharmaceutics, maritime, etc. Despite this, the IT sector has primarily utilized lighter Agile methodologies like Scrum and Kanban, which often fall short in managing IT projects successfully. Agile CCPM for Jira brings the much-needed benefits of CCPM to the IT industry.

FAQ
What is the Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) method?

Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) is a methodology focused on identifying and managing the “critical chain” of tasks in a project. This critical chain is the longest path of dependent tasks, that also takes into account resource-level multitasking constraints. This combination of logical and resource dependencies dictates the project timeline. CCPM prioritizes resource availability and uses buffers to absorb uncertainties, aiming to reduce project delays and ensure on-time delivery.
