Delivering MORE Projects - Better - Faster and at a Lower Cost

Your Problem. Our Promise.

This isn’t just another conference. When you register, you’ll tell us the real challenge you’re facing—and we commit to helping you move it forward.

During the conference, you’ll learn and experience Critical Chain alongside a community tackling real-world constraints just like yours.

Then, after the event, we take it further:

Join focused group discussions designed around your specific challenges

Connect with peers working through similar problems

And, for paid attendees, receive a dedicated one-on-one session to dive deeper

This is about turning insight into action—and making sure you don’t leave with just ideas, but with progress.

Why CCPM?

CCPM is the only mainstream project method explicitly designed to reduce lead time at the system level

Most project environments struggle not because people aren’t working hard, but because too much work is started at once, priorities shift constantly, and uncertainty is pushed down into individual tasks.

Critical Chain Project Management takes a different approach. By reducing system-level lead time — not just optimizing individual tasks — organizations increase throughput and create reliable flow. The result: they deliver more projects, better, faster, and at a lower cost. It changes how work is released into the system, how uncertainty is managed at the project level, and how teams are guided during execution — reducing multitasking, improving focus, and creating a more dependable way to run projects.

Critical Chain Delivers Real Results

Organizations worldwide are using CCPM to optimize projects - achieving remarkable results:

25% to 100%+ increase in productivity and capacity
Due date reliability hits 95% plus
Projects completed up to 30% faster
Lower costs without sacrificing scope and quality

Learn how you can achieve the same success!

Dr Eliyahu Goldratt is the author of Critical Chain and the inventor of the Theory of Constraints (TOC), a management philosophy and methodology that is used to improve the performance of organizations by identifying and addressing the key constraints that are limiting the organization's ability to achieve its goals. The TOC body of knowledge includes a range of concepts, tools, and techniques that are used to identify, analyze, and improve the performance of organizational systems. Today TOC has developed into a comprehensive collection of methods that are used to manage a wide range of systems and operations of all scales – from personal development, to global multinationals, and governments. One of the key tools and techniques used in TOC includes Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM), a method developed in the 1990’s for managing projects and resources. After years of development and testing, Goldratt publicized the Critical Chain method in his book – Critical Chain – in 1997. Critical Chain is often abbreviated to CC, or CCPM (Critical Chain Project Management).

This conference is proudly organized by the Theory of Constraints International Certification Organization (TOCICO), global not-for-profit organization. Our conference planning committee consists of experienced project managers and consultants who passionately believe that the tools of Critical Chain and TOC make great additions to a project manager’s toolkit. For 20+ years the TOCICO has organized global events bringing together practitioners, students and experts in TOC. This conference seeks to make some of that experience available to the wider project management community.
