How It Works
Five Steps to a Committed Plan
Every item in the kit maps directly to a step in this facilitation
process.
Before People Arrive
Full kit check — phase, scope, milestones, zone map, boards, trade colors all confirmed.
Open the Session
Introductions, note taker, milestones, Conditions of Satisfaction, trade colors, participation rules.
Build the Plan
Forward pass — activity, duration, crew. Backward pass — predecessors, materials, inspections, handoffs.
Verify + Optimize
Copy across zones. Check Takt time, crew strategy, constraints, bottlenecks. Adjust — never the milestone.
Close Out + Commit
Final check, roadblocks captured, trade partners confirm. One team, one plan, one commitment.
Included Guides
Two Guides. Two Roles.
Every kit ships with laminated 11×17″ quick-reference guides — one for
the person facilitating, one for every trade partner in the room.
For the Facilitator
Facilitator Quick Guide
"Facilitate the process. Let the Last Planners own the plan."
For Trade Partners
Attendee Quick Guide
"Know your work. Protect your needs. Own your commitments."
Two Approaches
Pull Plan 1.0 vs. 2.0
This kit supports both. Start with 1.0. Move to 2.0 when your team
is ready for structured homework.
Pull Planning 1.0
Great for teams starting out
- Build information live in the session
- Activities written during the session
- Homework may not be available
- Optimized with team knowledge
VS
Pull Planning 2.0
For experienced teams
- Build information live in the session
- Activities written during the session
- Homework may not be available
- Optimized with team knowledge
