Top Mistakes to Avoid in Last Planner System® Use
This interactive session dives into the five most common mistakes teams make when implementing the Last Planner System® (LPS®)—from treating pull planning as the whole system, to overlooking MakeReady planning, underutilizing digital tools, ignoring the master schedule, and skipping learning cycles. You’ll see why these pitfalls lead to missed handoffs, wasted effort, and unreliable schedules—and discover practical, field-tested strategies to fix them.
What you’ll take away:
1. See the full LPS framework in action—Milestones → Phase Planning → Lookahead → Weekly Work Plans → Daily Huddles → Learning—and avoid the trap of thinking “we pull planned it, so it will happen.”
2. Make readiness visible by building a constraint log, assigning clear accountability, and turning vague requests into reliable promises with due dates.
3. Bridge analog and digital planning: use sticky notes for strategic pull planning, then connect them to digital platforms (like LCMD) for weekly work plans, PPC tracking, and cross-trade visibility.
4. Anchor CPM schedules in pulled master plans—so they reflect actual commitments rather than abstract critical paths.
5. Build a culture of continuous learning by turning missed promises and constraints into lessons, not recurring problems.
By the end, you’ll know how to set up daily and weekly routines that build trust, improve handoffs, and create flow—while equipping your team with both the habits and tools to thrive in high-variability, high-velocity construction environments.
