CURRICULUM & OUTCOMES
What topics are covered in the Boot Camp?
Takt planning, day planning, logistics, pre-construction, team health, communication systems, and more.
What is Takt Planning and why is it taught?
Takt is a Lean planning method that creates flow and removes chaos. It helps teams deliver projects on time with less stress, because everyone is working together on the same plan with the same goal.
Will I learn how to lead field teams more effectively?
Yes. This boot camp focuses on real leadership challenges and gives you systems and strategies to lead high-performing teams.
Do you cover daily huddles and meeting systems?
Yes. You’ll learn how to run day huddles, team meetings, worker huddles, and Lean coordination processes.
What kind of real-world challenges do we simulate?
You’ll work through real project schedules, logistical constraints, leadership decisions, and field-office communication breakdowns. Learn how to find and clear roadblocks while leveraging the wisdom of the entire project team.
LOGISTICS & FORMAT
Is the training in-person or virtual?
It’s 100% in-person to maximize learning, feedback, and team-based interaction. Do not plan to manage your project from the training. Do not plan to skip days. Your team is depending on you being present and attentive.
How long is the Boot Camp?
It runs for 5 action packed days — Friday afternoon we usually finish by 2PM but do not plan to leave earlier than that. Book your flights accordingly.
Where is the Boot Camp held?
Locations vary — typically hosted in a professional training center or project setting. Contact us for the next available city/date.
What is the daily schedule like?
Each day includes morning routines, planning exercises, team work, simulations, and recap.
What should I bring to the training?
A notebook, project documents (optional), and an open mindset. We’ll provide all the materials. We also suggest bringing your computer or tablet.
What about meals?
Throughout the day, snacks, drinks and coffee will be available. We will break for lunch, which is provided. Please let us know in advance if you have allergies we need to consider.
TEAM PARTICIPATION
Can I send my entire team?
Yes — in fact, teams often get the best results. Ask us about private training sessions too.
Is this good for new Superintendents or PMs?
Yes. It’s perfect for both new and experienced professionals who want to grow.
Can I attend even if I’m not currently a Superintendent or PM?
Yes — if you’re on a leadership path or part of project coordination, this is for you.
How big are the training groups?
We keep it small enough for interaction, typically 20-50 participants. Teams are 5-10 people, and everyone plays a significant role in their group.
Do participants work together in teams?
Yes. We emphasize collaboration and problem-solving in small groups.
RESULTS & TESTIMONIALS
What do past attendees say?
They consistently report clearer communication, better planning, and stronger team culture. Check out our testimonials video.
Is there proof this works?
Yes — we’ve trained hundreds of professionals across multiple companies and industries with measurable improvement in project flow.
Do people ever attend more than once?
Not Really - They go back and implement on their projects. Most follow-up is constant communication and connection with our team.
How does this compare to traditional PM certification?
This is experience-based, not exam-based. It focuses on actual execution, not just theory. Our goal is to familiarize you with project excellence so you can implement practical solutions onsite.

Yes. Everything we teach is applied on real jobsites every day by successful teams. We are field leaders turned trainers. These are not classroom theories.
