— Critical Chain Project Management

Run projects on a buffer, not on hope.

X Factor implements Critical Chain Project Management end-to-end — from plan upload to fever-chart monitoring — so your projects finish on the date you committed to.

Watch a 6-task project re-plan itself.

Toggle between traditional planning and the X Factor CCPM algorithm. Watch each task's hidden safety pool into one protected buffer.

Identify, pool, push, monitor.

The X Factor algorithm is the operationalisation of CCPM theory. It's deterministic, not heuristic — and runs in seconds on plans with thousands of tasks.

  • 01
    Identify the critical chainLongest path of dependent tasks from start to finish, sequenced to resource availability.
  • 02
    Pool the safetyPlanned task time = pure touch time. All local safety margins combine into one buffer at the end of the chain.
  • 03
    Push the feed chainsFeed-chain tasks finish just-in-time for the critical chain — but with a feeding buffer to keep the chain from going critical.
  • 04
    Monitor the fever chartProject health = ratio of chain completion to buffer consumption. Buffer recovery is automatic.
— Main functionality

Everything a PM needs. Nothing they don't.

Project plan upload

Import existing project plans. X Factor parses dependencies and runs the CCPM algorithm automatically.

⫶⫶

Project dashboard

One view per project — chain progress, buffer state, resource load, next-up tasks.

Gantt chart

Critical chain in colour. Feed chains pushed to just-in-time. Visual buffer at the end.

Task status entry

Daily or hourly tracking, completed from phone. Sub-tasks in series or parallel.

🌡

Fever chart

Buffer consumption vs. chain completion. Three-zone health at a glance.

CEO dashboard

Cross-project view for leadership. Clarity on what's slipping and why.

Resource load

See which resource is the constraint — and which is the bottleneck risk.

Project & task MIS

Hierarchical reporting. Team members see only what they need.

WhatsApp notifications

Push to WhatsApp, email and in-app when a task is available or delayed.
