Cutting content seems to be the prevalent way of meeting deadlines in projects that are running late. But why waste effort and time working on things that most likely, are going to go at the first sign of trouble?
Why don’t make the decisions about what is important and what is not up-front, and only start work on the latter if we have the necessary time to do it?
By combining critical chain (CC) and Incremental Development (ID), two well-known techniques, we can create a new approach to plan and execute projects, which guaranties, with a set probability, the delivery of
an agreed subset of the total functionality by a stipulated date. Saving Changes...

Thanks Eduardo for an interesting read. I have a tool where I would like to model this concept and try out your suggestions. Would appreciate if I can get your email address to get your guidance or clarification when I get stuck somewhere.

Thanks for posting the full article. It is well written and very informative... and a great contribution to this site. I just atended L. Leach's two day class at the 2005 PMI Congress on Critical Chain for my first exposure to Critical Chain. Your article answers quite a few questions I had on how critical chain applies to newer iterative development methods. Saving Changes...
