Project Bottlenecks

Project Bottlenecks addresses a common problem in project management: projects consistently running behind schedule and over budget. It argues that often, the underlying cause is not poor planning but unaddressed project bottlenecks – constraints that impede workflow. The book uniquely focuses on proactively identifying and managing these bottlenecks before they derail the entire project.

The book presents the theory of constraints (TOC) as a framework for pinpointing the most critical bottleneck and concentrating efforts on its alleviation. It explores various types of bottlenecks, such as skill shortages and inefficient processes, using real-world examples to illustrate their impact. By understanding how bottlenecks undermine resource utilization and workflow, project managers can apply strategies like resource leveling and process redesign to improve project efficiency.

The book progresses from identifying bottlenecks using data analysis to implementing strategies for alleviating them. It concludes with preventive measures and guidance on integrating bottleneck management into existing project management frameworks. Ultimately, Project Bottlenecks provides actionable strategies for project managers and teams to enhance project outcomes and consistently meet deadlines.
