Many projects managers who manage projects where things changes frequently struggle to prepare and maintain critical path based detailed project schedule.
Critical path based planning needs very frequent re-planning and in absence of that schedule remain just a document, schedule rarely reflect the real activities which are getting executed.
The push schedule where we expect project manager to allocate activities / tasks to individual require good amount of communication and re-planning and delay in communication or re-planning generates delays in execution, since team waits for instructions.
Pull based planning gives a good alternative to manage tasks/ activities. In this session we will look at what is this Pull based scheduling is all about and how it can be implemented.
Key Questions Answered:
- Why do we need Pull based planning?

Great video! I agree that pull system is the only reasonable way to manage work in a changeable environment. We had a team of web developers who always fought with testers. When we started using a Kanban tool and added Buffer column between developers and testers, the atmosphere in both teams changed dramatically and finally the code was tested much better.
