# SOP: Critical Chain Identification

Identify the critical chain (longest resource-constrained path) using Goldratt's Critical Chain method. Differs from CPM by resolving resource contention and removing task-level safety margins.

Subagent — spawned via subagent-spawning/spawn-agent skill.

Shared: Used by dependency-constraint strategy and implementation-planning campaign.
