What SHOULD be done? What CAN be done? What WILL be done? What DID we do? Master schedule Phase schedule Lookahead plan Weekly work plan

Improve the planning process Establish a lean culture Create ownership and responsibility Understand the entire construction process Accept the chaotic circumstances of construction Focus on collaborative planning Be proactive and avoid firefighting Use backward planning Continuous improvement Build trust Focus on communication in all levels of the project Create accountability Involve everyone Delegate responsibility Encourage ownership and autonomy Get away from silomentality Gain overview of dependencies and relationships Optimize the process first, then improve individual activities
