critical chain
C2CEFR level
88/100Rarity: very rare
TechnicalRegister
A scheduling method that sizes buffers around resource constraints rather than individual task estimates to protect the end date.
Critical chain puts one shared buffer at the end instead of padding every task, and it stops people gaming their estimates.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
