Jason opens with Lord of the Rings analogy: One ring (flow, Takt) rules them all (CPM, Last Planner, Scrum). Last Planner changed his life but isn't complete without Takt. Jason is CPM expert, knows theory, risk analyses, Acumen infuse risk, doesn't work. Flow where you can, pull where you can't, push when you must. Three basic habits for builders, seven key positions, nine key meetings. River of waste correction: It's not reduction of water level that wins, it's stabilization of water level. In CPM and Last Planner roadblocks are hidden, in Takt and Last Planner roadblocks are exposed. Can't throw Last Planner or Scrum into chaotic system, need stable system with Takt. Takt takes 33% of time of any other system.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Lord of the Rings analogy: One ring (flow, Takt) rules CPM, Last Planner, Scrum in land where respect reigns supreme
• Jason's CPM expertise: Knows theory, risk analyses, Acumen infuse risk, run scheduling departments, expert and it doesn't work
• Flow where you can, pull where you can't, push when you must (modified from Taiichi Ohno)
• River of waste corrected: Not reduction of water level wins, stabilization of right water level wins, once you stabilize flow all expenses reduce, all roadblocks rise to surface
• Roadblocks hidden vs exposed: CPM and Last Planner hides roadblocks, Takt and Last Planner exposes roadblocks, Takt and Scrum exposes roadblocks
• Can't throw Last Planner into chaos: Can't expect magic from Last Planner or Scrum in chaotic system, need stable system with Takt planning first
• Takt efficiency: Takes 33% of time to run Takt system as any other system, Last Planner takes time and is labor intensive, Takt works and not labor intensive

If you can't see the plan in 5 to 30 seconds on a project then you don't know the plan, Takt will enable you to do that.
