Ep.1419 - The Last Planner ®️System - Part 2


Listen Later

In this episode, Jason took a hard look at the Last Planner System, what works, what doesn't, and why it desperately needs a reset.

From daily huddles that prioritize foremen over craftworkers, to the misuse of "constraints" vs. real roadblocks, to static boards that kill flow, we pull no punches in critiquing where our industry is stuck. You'll hear why:

  • Morning huddles waste critical craft time (and what to do instead).

  • Roadblocks must replace "constraints" in our language and practice.

  • Visual boards should drive problem-solving, not just display commitments.

  • Why percent plan complete (PPC) isn't enough, we need new KPIs.

  • Pull planning should always use one sticky per day and avoid batching.

Lean systems should evolve, not stagnate. If we want Last Planner 2.0 (or 3.0) to actually deliver, we've got to stop repeating bad habits and start building trust, flow, and clarity on our projects.

🔥 This episode is part critique, part blueprint and if you care about improving how we plan and build, you won't want to miss it.
