Objective:
Amplify the signal to track potential gains or losses in time (fluctuations) in Task Duration to evaluate their impact on the sequence of dependent Tasks.
Outcome:
Enhanced Sensitivity: By removing safety time from each task, the project’s ability to respond to time fluctuations increases, allowing for a more accurate impact analysis of the dependent tasks into the buffer penetration. This prevents a ‘dampening’ effect of hidden invisible safety time inside tasks, the cause of delayed intervention.
Risk and Proactivity: This method intensifies the Project Risk Quotient (PRQ), enhancing the Early Warning (EW) systems. This fosters a proactive management approach, facilitating immediate action and intervention when necessary.
Buffering: It is crucial to note that the safety time removed from tasks is not discarded but instead accumulated and strategically allocated at the end of a string of dependent tasks. This consolidated time buffer is easily monitored by management, ensuring that any shift in task durations is promptly identified and can be managed effectively
