I've remvoed the external links, based on the difficulties of deciding which external links are valid and which are spam. Jackvinson (talk) 13:02, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Here are the originals

This link is currently redirecting to http://www.goldratt.co.uk/Services/Functional/pm.html, which is a page devoted solely to advertising services to prospective clients. This fails WP:EL on multiple counts. --Ronz (talk) 15:03, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
This link is defunct, and the author no longer appears to be on staff there. A replacement link is http://www.redorbit.com/news/health/137514/why_a_critical_path_by_any_other_name_would_smell/ I'll leave it for someone else to look at the content. --Ronz (talk) 15:13, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
Is a review of Critical Chain by Goldratt. Is the article so bad that we're going to link to reviews? --Ronz (talk) 15:18, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
A simple (overly simple) comparison. Like the book review above, this is something that if linked at all would only be useful while the article was poor quality. --Ronz (talk) 15:23, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Add CC Software section

I am going to add a section on Critical Chain PM software, though I am somewhat concerned that it will get junked up with commercial efforts. My goal here is that since there are so few CCPM softwares, they should be listed and there should be a neutral reference of them. Jackvinson (talk) 12:43, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

What is the problem with the software section? There are not that many software companies supporting CCPM, so it is good to have a list here. Jackvinson (talk) 02:04, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Why is it good to have a list here? You've added an united and unbound, seemingly random list of external links that really don't expand on the topic of the article. Wikipedia is not a directory, and there is no need for this list. Kuru (talk) 03:57, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
The main value is to give people a starting point in looking for software. None of the major project management software packages support Critical Chain, so this list could be a good place for people to start. That said, if Wikipedia is not supposed to have this kind of list (I find examples elsewhere), then we can remove it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackvinson (talk • contribs) 12:26, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
I don't doubt that you can find examples elsewhere, but focusing on this article is a better idea. Again, we're not here to provide a directory service or help people look for software. The article topic is "Critical Chain Project Management", and those links do not help prodive an understanding of the topic. Is there any other reason you've added these links that you can think of? Kuru (talk) 14:50, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
Fair points. The only _other_ reason I can think of is that I want to encourage people to give it a whirl with the software. But then, CCPM doesn't require software to implement... I'd be willing to chop. But then that would mean I need to update and clarify the the entry. Jackvinson (talk) 01:39, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
I've removed it, please feel free to add cited information. Kuru (talk) 13:35, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
