About this Event
The Last Planner System was developed to provide more reliable workflow in order
to promote confidence in planning and preparation, which is known to impact
performance. Reliable workflow is measured in Percent Plan Complete and the metric is
understood to measure the health of the project planning and control system and project
performance only indirectly. In practice, too often PPC is used to beat people up for not
keeping their commitments. For that purpose, tracking averages per week, month or
quarter is sufficient. However, both that use of PPC and the way it is tracked conceals
opportunity for improvement. PPC should be used to spur learning. Tracking PPC
variation along with averages enforces the importance of attacking causes of variation.
This paper provides a way to teach users of the Last Planner System how PPC variation
negatively impacts projects.
