Review of 'Be fast or be gone' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Yet another Theory of Constraints novel, this one focussing on Critical Chain project management. As TOC novels go, this is certainly one of the most readable, although the characters are as two-dimensional as ever.

What lets this book down, however, is the complete lack of detail on Critical Chain itself. Sure, there are a few verbal walk-throughs of CRTs, and some discussion of Student Syndrome and suchlike. But really, the book is more of a sales pitch than a how-to manual. As such, I learned almost nothing; and that's a shame, because otherwise I enjoyed the story.
