The British Academy for Training and Development introduces this course to provide a thorough understanding of Critical Chain Project Management, a methodological approach that focuses on resource optimization and strategic scheduling to enhance project performance. Participants will learn how to identify and manage project constraints, implement buffer management, and leverage CCPM tools for faster and more reliable project delivery.

Who Should Attend?

• Project managers and team leaders seeking CCPM certification.
• Professionals involved in project planning, execution, and control.
• Individuals interested in advanced project management techniques.
• Organizational leaders looking to implement efficient project management
• PMO staff and consultants specializing in project management methodologies.
