Jason continues reading the second edition of Elevating Construction Takt Planning, picking up where the preface left off and diving into the introduction. He unpacks Takt as the visualization of time and space, sets out the six requirements that make a schedule an actual Takt plan, and uses Lord of the Rings and Hobbit allegories to explain why flow must be the one system that rules them all. This chapter also lays out the five core problems with using CPM as a standalone system and why Takt is the accountability partner construction has been missing.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• The six requirements every schedule must meet to qualify as a true Takt plan

• Why flow is the "one ring" that should govern CPM, Last Planner, and Scrum

• The five major problems with using CPM as a standalone scheduling system

• What "dragon sickness" is and how CPM encourages superintendents to hoard the plan

• Why Takt is the only system that shows why and where to focus to recover a schedule

If a schedule hides the truth instead of revealing it, who does that actually serve, the project, or the people dodging accountability?
