Question

According to Goldratt: Two activities scheduled to be carried out sequentially and using the same scarce resource benefit from having the same project manager. Two activities scheduled to be carried out in parallel and using the same scarce resource are independent. Two activities scheduled to be carried out in parallel and using the same scarce resource are not independent. Two activities scheduled to be carried out sequentially and using the same scarce resource require different project managers.

Answer 1

Answer:

Two activities scheduled to be carried out in parallel and using the same scarce resource are independent.

Explanation:

An Israeli physicist named, Eliyahu M. Goldratt developed the Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) and introduced it in his book "Critical Chain" in 1997.

The CCPM is a project management methodology used by managers to better manage a project. The CCPM ensures that the project plan is feasible and immune from any uncertainty or statistical fluctuations.

In the CCPM activity network, there are no milestones and all non-critical activities are performed as late as possible.

CCPM adopts the use of drum buffers, so as to ensure extra safety is applied to a project immediately before using constrained resource.

According to Goldratt, two activities scheduled to be carried out in parallel and using the same scarce resource are independent.
