Ep.1248 - Takt Steering & Control Book - CPM as a roadblock
Why It’s a Construction Cult We Need to Escape
In this no holds barred episode, Jason Schroeder unleashes his rawest rant yet on why CPM (Critical Path Method) is holding the construction industry hostage. From the “illusion of control” to the “sacred spreadsheet” rituals and the blind faith in Gantt charts, Jason breaks down the cult-like practices that keep projects stuck in chaos, fear, and failure.
If you’ve ever felt trapped by bloated schedules, forced into legal driven nonsense, or pressured to plan with tools that don’t reflect reality, this episode is your wake up call. Jason doesn’t just tear down CPM he shows you the way forward with builder methods, Takt planning, and systems that actually work in the field.
