 Reporting
The Buffer Report enables project resources to determine which task to work on next, and provides thresholds
for Project
Manager action.
 Buffer Penetration
Buffer penetration is the difference between the initial planned and current estimate of the completion
of the last task on
the chain feeding the buffer, based on the estimate of remaining days for the task currently being worked.
Action Thresholds
Establish action thresholds to plan and activate plans to recover project duration based on Project
Buffer and Feeding
Buffer penetration. The simple rule is action thresholds at 1/3 and 2/3 of buffer penetration. You may
wish to use a
dynamic threshold for the Project Buffer; i.e. thresholds that increase along the project duration.
