MS Project
Microsoft Project dates back to the 1980s.
Your projects are built for today and for the future.
Three reasons MS Project is still holding your projects back today.
No real teamwork
MS Project was designed as a single-user scheduling tool. Every change ends up as an email attachment in someone’s inbox instead of updating the shared plan for everyone involved.
Support is ending
Microsoft is reducing its investment in Microsoft Project Online. With no new features and a shrinking support roadmap, staying on the platform means increasing risk over time.

Not built for construction
Lean Construction, Last Planner®, takt planning, and pull planning aren't built into Microsoft Project. Instead, teams rely on spreadsheets, workarounds, and manual processes that cost time and reduce efficiency.

100%
MS Project-compatible
Seamless transition with no extra effort. MS Project imports and exports are always possible. Your clients get what they’re used to, while you work more efficiently.
What construction experts say after making the switch
The tool is incredibly simple, and it's this very simplicity that fosters transparency. That's truly noticeable on site.

lcmd is a fantastic tool, and I'm always impressed by how intuitive it is to use. You're doing a great job.
Nicola B. Hendler
Project Manager| Drees & Sommer
I find it easier to use. lcmd is more beginner-friendly than MS Project. The main benefit is that I can grant access, and they get the full picture.
Michael Henter-Besting
Construction Manager | SENN
With lcmd, we always have clarity about where our projects stand. Processes, dependencies and responsibilities are visible at a glance. The biggest added value: We standardize our processes using template projects and get the appropriate timing steps straight from the whiteboard into the process plan. This significantly saves time in planning, reduces coordination and makes schedule discrepancies identified early on. - Both within the project team and in reporting to management. And if there is something at short notice, the lcmd team is extremely quick and pragmatic in providing support.
Christopher Mann
Lean Lead | Srenger Holding GmbH
I find it very positive that a software provider listens to its users and responds specifically to their wishes. That really makes the lcmd team great.
Jürgen Mayerhofer-Kraupuc
Project Manager | ELIN Linz Export Building Technology
By working with the CS team and using the software over several months, the added value of the solution was clearly visible to me and the team. The structured support and continuous exchange have made a significant contribution to successfully using the software in practice.
Robin Hülsmann
Construction Manager | Adolf Lupp GmbH + Co KG
Working with lcmd is a real added value for us. The CS team in particular accompanies us closely, listens and takes up our feedback directly. We also feel very well supported in the introduction and initial set-up of our projects. Support when releasing new features is top-notch.
Maria Helene Sommer
Project Management | Max von Bedow Baukultur
lcmd and the link to big® provide an enormous gain in knowledge after just a short time. The big advantage lies not only in potential cost savings, but also in the ability to make better and more informed decisions. The information base is the same for everyone. And that is our biggest added value: transparency creates trust and enables genuine collaboration.

Wolfgang Bayer
Head of Construction | Daiichi Sankyo Europe GmbH
Instead of working with individual files, lcmd creates a shared platform where all team members can take responsibility.
Sebastian Winkler
Project Manager | Itten+Brechbühl AG
lcmd is designed to be so intuitive that it can be understood in no time — saving both time and frustration.
Adrian Kiefer
Construction Manager | Itten+Brechbühl AG
In my opinion, the visual presentation of scheduling issues in lcmd is unbeatable compared to an MS-Project schedule. I can imagine the building much better, I can recognize the connections much more quickly and I can also see the dependencies much better.
Thomas Rosmüller
Senior Expert | Drees & Sommer SE
With the lcmd plan, I was able to visualize the construction site connections so clearly for the project participants that their previous MS Project plan immediately faded into the background. What was previously complex and confusing was made transparent and understandable by lcmd — the connections were visible at a glance.
Thomas Rosmüller
Senior Expert | Drees & Sommer SE
I see the biggest advantage in the fact that I can simply immediately overview the overall process plan in all possible scaling variants and filter variants without having to work with paper printouts and complex post-it wall panels. The online availability and the ability to use and adapt the plan in video conferences also make my work much easier.
Michael Boss
Project Manager | OTTO QUAST Fertigbau GmbH
lcmd has become an indispensable tool for our project. It provides exactly the functions we need to manage our complex construction projects. - The software adapts to our needs and not the other way around. This makes lcmd an ideal tool for our project.
Christopher Großheim
Project Manager & Lean Representative | Deutsche Bahn AG
With lcmd, we always have an overview, even with a complex project such as the TRI office building. The transparent presentation of deadlines and the collaborative way of working facilitate coordination between the trades and enable quick decisions — even in the event of short-term changes.
Klemen Domjan
Project Manager | Accumulata Real Estate Management GmbH
Thanks to lcmd, we always have a transparent overview of appointments. The tool facilitates cooperation between the trades and ensures a smooth process.
Tobias Burkart
Construction Supervision | Catterfeld Welker
With lcmd, we finally have a tool that makes the complexity of our project manageable. The simple operation and the clear filters help us to keep track and react flexibly to changes. lcmd has become indispensable for us, particularly when it comes to cycle planning and visualizing our processes.
Leon Schanz
Senior site manager | Georg Reisch GmbH & Co. KG
The easy access to lcmd makes our work much easier. The intuitive user interface enables everyone involved to find their way around quickly. We particularly appreciate the ability to display complex processes clearly.
Johannes Schartel
Project Manager | Drees & Sommer
lcmd has definitely helped me as a project manager to see at a glance in which areas we are lagging behind, where I need to turn which cogs to make things move forward - or to see which areas are actually running more smoothly.
Ali Hassani
Project Manager | Zech Hochbau AG
lcmd facilitates our daily coordination meetings through transparent task tracking and scheduling. The visual representation helps to keep everyone involved on the same page.
Vitali Bickert
Expert | Drees & Sommer
For us, the biggest advantage of lcmd is the clear overview of the entire process. In this way, even in a complex project such as the Gallileo Tower, we always keep an eye on all deadlines and can coordinate flexibly between the trades without delays affecting the entire process.
Sebastian Endres
Technical Senior Project Manager | Baierl & Demmelhuber Innenausbau GmbH
lcmd enables us to take a much more transparent approach to our project structuring. Transparency is the absolute key to success for us, because only transparency in a process plan enables us to react to certain opportunities and challenges at an early stage.
Michael Sandbichler
Managing Director | MvB Baukultur
The clarity provided by lcmd is very helpful for us.
An example: We now transfer the structuring of the buildings
to each of the 25 buildings. With analog pegboards, we don't even need to imagine this in the control system.
Markus Schwerdtfeger
Lean Manager | Projekt FAIR
lcmd enables us to take a much more transparent approach to our project structuring. For us, transparency is the absolute key to success, because only transparency in a process plan enables us to react to certain opportunities and challenges at an early stage.
Michael Sandbichler
Managing Director | MvB Baukultur
Our projects have many stakeholders, and with lcmd, we very quickly gained an overview of where different trades intersect, where delays can occur, and which trades are a step behind. Additionally, one feels more secure as a construction manager and site supervisor.
Filip Rudolf
Construction Manager | Drees & Sommer
We are particularly impressed by the simple and transparent communication and coordination of everyone involved in the project. This allows us to react immediately to spontaneous changes so that the construction can continue to run smoothly and on schedule.
Kathrin Schramm
Dipl.-Ing.(FH) Free Architect | SchrammArchitekten
lcmd is the only lean software solution capable of automatically creating clock plans and suggesting optimizations. It integrates perfectly into existing structures and facilitates the transition from conventional schedule management to lean ways of thinking and working.
Dr. Selim-Tugra Demir
Senior Manager Lean Management | Drees & Sommer
With operational features such as „Drag and Drop“, lcmd is intuitive to use and easy to learn. The schedule can be created quickly, providing an overview of the project schedule at an early stage.
Simon Tappe
Managing Director | Herkommer Architects
With lcmd, we are able to present complex planning and construction processes to all project participants in a simple and comprehensible manner. This not only enhances the transparency of our teamwork, but also the efficiency thereof thanks to reliable agreements.
Dr. Sebastian Lange
Head of Lean Management | Zech Hochbau SE
The main advantage for me is that I really take lcmd with me to the construction site, and am able to check off updates on the status of the project on-site. This way, I am always aware of the project status, even on my cellphone.
Romano Speri
Site Manager | Drees & Sommer
With lcmd, all construction processes are presented clearly - this allows problems to be detected and resolved early on.
Ricci Münchenbach
