Plano, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/07/2012 --Even lean manufacturing companies continue to experience failure to deliver projects to schedule, budget, and scope and according to Mark Weoppel, CEO of Pinnacle Strategies, “More companies are experiencing cancelled projects at an alarming rate. This problem affects all projects in all industries from basic R&D to IT to construction. Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) enables firms to consistently deliver projects in half the time, within or under budget. CCPM users also report improved quality of work life for project team members.”
