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 Ahead, 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.
