• Why a Daily Start Up Meeting? -- Scroll down to the January 07 post in Joe Ely's Learning About Lean blog/journal to read something that sounds a heck of a lot like a buffer management meeting in the world of TOC. I think Joe's talking about production or operations workgroups, and a review of critical constraint resource buffer status would stand in for Joe's review of visual metrics for production, but similar activity feels appropriate in project environments as well. While weekly PM buffer management meetings tend to be more manager oriented and related to the health of the whole multi-project portfolio, I could see a similar daily startup session for individual projects, with the PM and key active resources as the players.
