Ep.1496 - How To Not Get Caught With Your Pants down in a Pull Plan


Listen Later

In this episode, Jason Schroeder tackles a common and uncomfortable problem in pull planning: losing confidence when trade durations suddenly explode in the room. He explains why sandbagging hurts everyone, including the trades themselves, and how leaders can prevent surprises before the pull plan ever starts.

What you'll learn in this episode:

  • Why sandbagging durations damages trade rhythm, labor efficiency, and project flow.
  • How to set macro phase expectations that create confidence before pull planning begins.
  • What information and data trade partners should bring if they want longer durations.
  • How strong pull plan homework prevents surprises and protects team alignment.
  • How to enter pull planning prepared, supported, and confident instead of reactive.

If your pull plans keep stretching instead of stabilizing, ask yourself this: are you setting the conditions for truth and data, or allowing guesses to drive the schedule?
