In this episode, Jason breaks down a powerful concept inside the TACT Production System: using buffers in pace with the Remaining Buffer Ratio. Buffers are not contingency. They are intentional protection for specific phases of work and when used correctly, they eliminate rushing, pushing, and panic. The key is not whether you use buffers. The key is how responsibly you use them. Jason explains how the Remaining Buffer Ratio helps teams decide when to consume buffer and when to recover time another way replacing traditional CPM tools like float reports, S-curves, and earned value metrics with something practical, visual, and flow-based.
What you'll learn in this episode:
- The difference between schedule contingency and phase buffers.
- What the Remaining Buffer Ratio is and how to calculate it.
- Why buffers must be used in pace not all at once.
- How this KPI replaces slippage reports and float tracking.
- How to make buffer usage responsible and transparent.
Are you managing buffers with intention... or reacting when it's too late?
