Lean Construction Scheduling Workshop

Ready to enhance your construction scheduling techniques? While many are familiar with the Critical Path Method (CPM), the Collaborative Pull Planning Process is quickly gaining traction as a practical and effective alternative. This hands-on workshop will teach you how to create reliable schedules without relying on computers. Instead, you’ll learn to collaborate, plan, and execute schedules directly on the wall using sticky notes!

💡 What You’ll Learn:
✅ How to integrate Master Schedules, Phase Pulls, Look Aheads, Constraints, and Weekly Work Plans.
✅ Techniques to track progress with Percent Plan Complete (PPC) metrics.
✅ How to engage the entire team—from master planners to foremen—to create and follow actionable schedules.
✅ Real-world strategies to build more reliable schedules and improve project outcomes.

👷‍♂️ Who Should Attend?
Perfect for construction professionals at all levels, from project managers to foremen, looking to adopt cutting-edge planning techniques that empower their teams.

🍳 Breakfast & lunch provided for all attendees!
