In this episode, Jason addresses a common mistake in project planning: combining or copying pull plans across different towers or sections of a construction project. He explains that each train of trades needs its own dedicated poll plan to ensure team buy-in, identify specific constraints, and optimize work for each unique zone. 

What you'll learn in this episode:

  • Why combining or copying pull plans across sections can harm the project's efficiency.
  • How creating a separate pull plan for each train of trades fosters team buy-in and ownership.
  • The importance of addressing specific constraints and problems in each zone.
  • How proper pull planning leads to better communication, buy-in, and less stress.
  • The role of pull plans in building people, not just systems, on construction sites.

Are you building your teams and systems by customizing pull plans, or just copying what works for one zone to another?
