Challenges & solutions

Delayed building permit

Agile replanning with lcmd enabled flexible adjustment of cycle planning‍

Complex ground floor Separate pull plan for cantea/auditorium area in case of building technology delays‍

Mixed online/face-to-face meetings

lcmd visualization works seamlessly in both formats

lcmd in use

After 6 years of experience with analog Last Planner, project manager Michael Boss used lcmd for the first time from the planning phase to completion.

Core Features:

  • Cycle planning: Partial structuring of buildings (A, B, C), timed areas by level
  • Collaboration: Weekly meetings with 8-10 trades, 6-week exports as minutes
  • Remote control: Project management from Siegen for construction site in Dresden
  • Monitoring: Dashboard with progress bar and evaluation of key figures

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.
