The Last Planner System isn't just another meeting cadence; it's how you get total participation, real commitments, and predictable flow instead of a "shoved-down" schedule that nobody follows. In this episode, Jason breaks down what Last Planner is, why traditional CPM schedules often fail in the field, and how planning must get more detailed as you get closer to the work. He walks through the five key elements (master scheduling, pull planning, make-ready, weekly work planning, and day planning), plus practical rules for commitments, roadblock removal, and tracking Percent Plan Complete so teams can learn, improve, and stop the chaos.
What you'll learn in this episode:
If your schedule "looks good" but crews keep showing up to unready work, what would change if you ran Last Planner with real commitments and real accountability?
