      March 07, 2009: A business novel introducing the use of the Theory of Constraints in Project Management.

      Like Goldratt's book The Goal, Critical Chain is written as a novel not like a project manager's how-to guide. This book is a story about a professor trying to attain his tenure at a university's business school. The plot is used to maintain interest in the subject and provide a real life feel to the book. It provides plenty of real-world examples. The plot of the novel is three fold:

      * A professor trying to become tenured,

      * A business school's struggle improve enrollment,

      * Teaching philosophy,

      * Applying the Theory of Constraints to project management

      The reason for the book is the last point.

      A complete synopsis of the book my be found at: http://ecaminc.com/Books/CriticalChain.html"
