How does Aurora handle multi-project Critical Chain?
Aurora is based on a very sophisticated resource scheduling engine and provides much more in flexibility dealing with multi-project than other critical chain software. 1. Aurora can use the drum buffer to stagger multi-projects, as is normally described in Critical Chain literature. 2. Aurora also has the ability to use the entire resource pool that will be used to schedule the multi-project critical chain projects. Hence instead of using a drum buffer to stagger, users can potentially set different priorities to different projects, then let Aurora utilize the entire resource pool to stagger the different projects appropriately. This method is shown in the following Multi Project critical chain video.
