Don't Plan Too Far Out Ahead Too Early

If you're managing six different scheduling systems and it's taking forever to update them all, you're missing the integration that makes everything work. Jason just had the epiphany that changes everything. The work steps in Takt planning translate directly into your weekly work plan and your sprint backlog. That means you're not recreating plans over and over. You're pulling from a collaborative flow system that already has the production rates, the trade sequencing, and the make ready work packaged. Instead of spending hours populating weekly work plans from scratch, you're pulling pre-planned work steps based on formulas and flow. This is the magic formula that will save you one twelfth of the time managing your schedule.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• How Takt work steps translate directly into weekly work plans and sprint backlogs
• Why this integration saves you one twelfth of the time managing schedules
• The difference between planning far ahead in CPM (guessing what will happen) versus Takt (identifying what should happen based on production rates)
• How trades can actually commit in Last Planner meetings because supply chains are managed through the Takt system
• Why the current condition of managing six different scheduling systems is breaking down and what to do instead

The current condition is it takes way too long to do our schedules and short interval planning. Now that we know how to integrate these systems, it's time to go.
