One Crew, One Job at a Time, and a Customer Waiting
When it is you and two others, the plan is not a management artifact. It is the difference between the bathroom being usable by Friday and the customer ringing on Saturday. It is also the thing you show them so they stop asking.
Materials arrive or the job stops
Units, tiles, the boiler, the windows. Draw the lead time and the order-by date lands on the chart instead of in your head, where it competes with four other jobs.
Inspections and certificates block the next step
Building control, gas sign-off, electrical certification. They are gates. Drawing them stops the plan pretending the next stage can start early.
A picture the customer understands
Print the plan or the Brief and hand it over. Pink cannot move, green has room. That conversation is much shorter than the one where you explain it again by phone.
- Critical — the longest path to project completion
- Floating — has room to move
- Milestone — a moment to hit
