Pipeline Accelerator Insight #45: Give At-Risk Projects Priority Access
One complication slows daily new product execution every time.
Shared resource contentions – That’s when multiple projects require the same person or resource.
When that happens, good people are tempted to bad-multitask – which never works.
The way to maximize new product flow is to give priority to the project most at risk of finishing late.
Everything else can wait on the other side of the ropes.
Why does this work?
Well, if you are using Critical Chain Project Management, putting only touch time in your task durations, and consolidating your safety in a project buffer, then you already know why. Because the other projects still have plenty of buffer, and waiting won’t hurt them as much.
