The continuing saga of Sisyphus the Bajan pushing (uh -- dragging?) the rock up the critical path took a couple of steps forward today when:
- InterPlan Systems Inc.'s (and PlanningPlanet's!) Bernard Ertl sent me an email letting me know that InterPlan Systems were announcing [1] that their new software, to be released shortly, would compute critical path drag. This makes InterPlan, along with Spider Project and Sumatra.com's add-on to MS Project, the third software package that computes this critical(!) new CPM metric.
- Also, Easy Projects published on their site today a guest blog they had asked me to write for them about critical path drag. The title is "Project Management and the 100 Metre Dash [2]."
For anyone interested in CPM drag, I hope to have further news shortly about a webinar on the topic that I may be doing for PMI's Scheduling CoP, and perhaps a fourth s/w package that will compute drag.
Fraternally in project management,
Steve the Bajan
