Pull Planning

In Plain English

A lean scheduling method where trades work backward from a deadline to identify what each needs from the one before them.

Definition

Pull planning is a lean construction scheduling technique in which the project team works backward from a milestone date, with each trade identifying what they need from the preceding trade to do their work, creating a collaboratively developed phase schedule. Unlike traditional push scheduling driven by the GC, pull planning engages subcontractors as active participants and produces more reliable, commitment-based schedules.
