What can I expect if I pilot Critical Chain on one project in a multi-project environment rather than implementing the full multi-project application?
While it can be accomplished, piloting a process that relies on one set of behaviors while around it are conflicting processes and behaviors is rife with risk. Considerable attention to avoiding infection across the two cultures will be required, and as a result, it may be unclear to some that the project’s success came from Critical Chain or from the special attention it received in that effort. It’s not impossible, but it requires additional efforts that may make it a bit daunting. Plus, once piloted, you still face rolling it out to the rest of the organization. Alternatively, a direct implementation of the full multi-project solution can be designed in a phased approach that provides the benefits of a pilot’s ability to identify needed alterations in the process or in the organization, but also helps to attain full organizational benefit as quickly as possible.
