Ep.1146 - Answers to Questions - Last Planner Alignment

Are You Wasting Time With Outdated Pull Planning?

Too many construction teams are stuck transferring sticky notes into Excel, duplicating work, and misaligning schedules with reality. In this episode, I respond directly to a listener’s question about how Last Planner® is being used in the field vs. how it should be used.

We dig into: ✅ Why sticky notes and physical boards aren’t a “Lean requirement” ✅ How to align master schedules, pull plans, and weekly work plans without wasting trade partner time ✅ Why vertical alignment (from macro plans to daily handoffs) is the real secret to flow ✅ Tech tools and smarter processes that eliminate duplication and keep teams focused
