Hal Macomber quotes [Clarke Ching] on applying Toc Thinking Processes to traditional Project Management, then explores the assumptions challenged by Agile Software Development (Scrum), finally comparing a bit to Critical Chain Project Management. I Commented: I don't see the synergy. I see [CC] as a significant improvement to traditional Plann Ing in its use of SlAck. But I don't think it challenges the underlying assumptions in the ways that scrum/agile does (as your last 3 bullets show quite well). It seems to me like [CC] still depends on Big Design Up Front, whereas agile does [Just Enough] thinking ahead to prioritize the functionality to deliver and concentrate on the plan/design for just that piece.
