Running Effective Pull Planning to Improve Trade Coordination, Field Engagement & Schedule Reliability

  • Practicing how to run a mock pull plan by assigning trade roles, mapping activities, and working backwards from key milestones
  • Comparing different pull planning approaches, from traditional sticky notes to more detailed activity-based and digital workflows
  • Improving trade partner engagement by creating more collaborative planning conversations that expose handoffs, constraints, and sequencing issues earlier

Practical Takeaway: Leave with a clearer structure for running pull planning sessions that are more engaging, better aligned with the schedule, and easier for field teams and trade partners to act on
