'''Critical chain project management''' ('''CCPM''') is a method of planning and [[Project management|managing projects]] that emphasizes the [[Resource (project management)|resources]] (people, equipment, physical space) required to execute project [[Task (project management)|tasks]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Asana |title=The Basics of Critical Chain Project Management [2024] • Asana |url=https://asana.com/resources/critical-chain-project-management |access-date=2024-07-18 |website=Asana |language=en}}</ref>  It was developed by [[Eliyahu M. Goldratt]]. It differs from more traditional methods that derive from [[Critical path method|critical path]] and [[PERT]] algorithms, which emphasize task order and rigid scheduling.
