Critical Chain software
There are several "big" vendors of critical chain software, and then there are the specialty vendors and consultants. Here are the ones I know about.
- cc-MPulse from Spherical Angle
- Concerto from Realization, Inc
ManuSync from Pinnacle Manufacturing Consulting- ProChain
Project Plan Pro from Advanced Projects- PSNext from Sciforma
Now, I just need to find a comparison of these products. Anything will do for a start.
Update: Neither ManuSync or Project Plan Pro are true Critical Chain Project Management packages. They refer to some of the concepts, but not the full array of tools needed for CCPM.

If you really want the inside scoop on all things critical chain just let me know - I led the first multi-project implementation in the United States and have been doing this since 1997. I worked as an Executive Director of The Goldratt Institute (as in Eli Goldratt, creator of TOC) for 12 years and am now a founding partner of The Goal Institute, Inc. - if you want to stop speculating send me an email.
I am searching for a Critical Chain Software easy to use and powerfull. Were you able to get the comparison chart you were looking for 4 and a half years ago? Did William Hoelfe give you insights?
Unfortunately, I have not seen anything more than what I put together way back when. I met William Hoefle last year, but we didn't discuss this very far. As far as I know all three of these products work in/with Microsoft Project and they all do more-or-less the same set of calculations when it comes to identifying the critical chain and helping you to execute your projects. The comparison comes down to features, convenience, and who you have to help you do your implementation. (You are going to get help, right?)
Hi,
We have developed a CCPM software, called AgileCC. Could you be kind to add AgileCC to the list of TOC software?
AgileCC is a stand-alone application which can run on a PC without MS Project. And it offers all the basic PM functionality of MS Project.
More information can be found at http://www.adepttracker.net/agilecc/index.html.
Thanks a lot for your consideration.
