The Detrimental Cult of Critical Path Methodology

In this podcast we cover:

• Analogies of what CPM is like.
• Why CPM has become a cult.

In this episode, I take a deep dive into why CPM has become such a destructive and outdated system in construction. Through practical analogies, I explain how CPM distracts us with irrelevant metrics while takt focuses on flow and results. I also explore how the culture around CPM functions like a cult, shielding people from accountability while harming projects. By contrasting the illusions of CPM with the clarity of takt, I share why it is time for us to move away from broken practices and embrace a system that actually helps us build better. This episode will challenge assumptions, highlight the dangers of complacency, and encourage you to rethink the way projects are planned and delivered.
