The Critical Chain method addresses the issue of "Parkinson's Law," which suggests that work expands to fill the time available for its completion. This method aims to eliminate this problem by reducing estimates and using buffers strategically, encouraging team members to complete tasks more efficiently rather than using all the available time.
