      Testimonials

      "The bootcamp I was apart of was amazing. Its was great while it was happening but also had a very profound long-term motivation that is still pushing me to do more, be more. It sounds a little strange to say that a construction bootcamp changed my life, but it has. It has opened my eyes to many possibilities on how a project can be successfully run. It’s also provided some very positive ideas on how people can and should be treated in construction.

      I am a hungry person by nature, so it doesn’t take a lot to get to participate. I loved the way it was not just about participating, it was also about doing it with conviction, passion, humility and if it wasn’t portrayed that way you had to do it again."

      "It's great to be a part of a company that has similar values to my own, especially regarding how we treat our trade partners. The idea of "you gotta make them feel worse to make them do better" has been preached at me for years. I struggled with this as you will not find a single psychology textbook stating these beliefs. In fact it is quite the opposite, and causing conflict is a recipe for disaster. I'm still honestly in shock I have found a company that has based its values on scientific facts based on human nature. That along with the Takt scheduling system makes everything even better. I am happy to be a part of a change that has been long overdue in our industry!"

      "Wicked team building, so valuable for the forehumans of the sub trades to know the how and why. Great tools and resources. Even though I am involved and use the tools every day, I feel like everything is fresh and at the forefront to use"

      "Jason and his team did an incredible job passing on the overall theory of what they do. After 3 days of running through the course I cannot see any holes in their concept. It works. it's proven to work and I am on board!"

      "Loved the pull planning, Takt planning, and logistic model planning. Well thought out and professional"

      "The Super/PM Boot Camp was an excellent experience that furthered my understanding of Lean Practices. The collaboration, group involvement, passion about real project site experiences, and POSITIVE ENERGY. There are no dull moments when you head into this training. Jason and Mr. Montero were always on point and available to help in the break outs sessions. Easily approachable to talk too during breaks and YES, it was fun. I recommend this training for any PM or Superintendent that wants to further their career."

      UNDERSTANDING THE TRAINING

      What is the Virtual Takt Production System® Training by LeanTakt?
      It’s an expert-led online program designed to teach construction professionals how to implement Takt Planning to create flow, eliminate chaos, and align teams across the project lifecycle.
      Who should take the LeanTakt virtual training?
      This training is ideal for Superintendents, Project Managers, Engineers, Schedulers, Trade Partners, and Lean Champions looking to improve planning and execution.
      What topics are covered in the online Takt Production System® course?
      The course covers macro and micro Takt planning, zone creation, buffers, weekly updates, flow management, trade coordination, and integration with CPM tools.
      What makes LeanTakt’s virtual training different from other Lean construction courses?
      Unlike theory-based courses, this training is hands-on, practical, field-tested, and includes live coaching tailored to your actual projects.
      Do I get a certificate after completing the online training?
      Yes. Upon successful completion, participants receive a LeanTakt Certificate of Completion, which validates your knowledge and readiness to implement Takt.

      VALUE AND RESULTS

      What are the benefits of Takt Production System® training for my team?
      It helps teams eliminate bottlenecks, improve planning reliability, align trades, and reduce the chaos typically seen in traditional construction schedules.
      How much time and money can I save with Takt Planning?
      Many projects using Takt see 15–30% reductions in time and cost due to better coordination, fewer delays, and increased team accountability.
      What’s the ROI of virtual Takt training for construction teams?
      The ROI comes from faster project delivery, reduced rework, improved communication, and better resource utilization — often 10x the investment.
      Will this training reduce project delays or rework?
      Yes. By visualizing flow and aligning trades, Takt Planning reduces miscommunication and late handoffs — major causes of delay and rework.
      How soon can I expect to see results on my projects?
      Most teams report seeing improvement in coordination and productivity within the first 2–4 weeks of implementation.

      PLANNING AND SCHEDULING TOPICS

      What is Takt Planning and how is it used in construction?
      Takt Planning is a Lean scheduling method that creates flow by aligning work with time and space, using rhythm-based planning to coordinate teams and reduce waste.
      What’s the difference between macro and micro Takt plans?
      Macro Takt plans focus on the overall project flow and phase durations, while micro Takt plans break down detailed weekly tasks by zone and crew.
      Will I learn how to build a complete Takt plan from scratch?
      Yes. The training teaches you how to build both macro and micro Takt plans tailored to your project, including workflows, buffers, and sequencing.
      How do I update and maintain a Takt schedule each week?
      You’ll learn how to conduct weekly updates using lookaheads, trade feedback, zone progress, and digital tools to maintain schedule reliability.
      Can I integrate Takt Planning with CPM or Primavera P6?
      Yes. The training includes guidance on aligning Takt plans with CPM logic, showing how both systems can work together effectively.
      Will I have access to the instructors during the training?
      Yes. You’ll have opportunities to ask questions, share challenges, and get real-time feedback from LeanTakt coaches.
      Can I ask questions specific to my current project?
      Absolutely. In fact, we encourage it — the training is designed to help you apply Takt to your active jobs.
      Is support available after the training ends?
      Yes. You can access follow-up support, coaching, and community forums to help reinforce implementation.
      Can your tools be customized to my project or team?
      Yes. We offer customizable templates and implementation options to fit different project types, teams, and tech stacks.
      When is the best time in a project lifecycle to take this training?
      Ideally before or during preconstruction, but teams have seen success implementing it mid-project as well.

      APPLICATION & TEAM ADOPTION

      What changes does my team need to adopt Takt Planning?
      Teams must shift from reactive scheduling to proactive, flow-based planning with clear commitments, reliable handoffs, and a visual management mindset.
      Do I need any prior Lean or scheduling experience?
      No prior Lean experience is required. The course is structured to take you from foundational principles to advanced application.
      How long does it take for teams to adapt to Takt Planning?
      Most teams adapt within 2–6 weeks, depending on project size and how fully the system is adopted across roles.
      Can this training work for smaller companies or projects?
      Absolutely. Takt is scalable and especially powerful for small teams seeking better structure and predictability.
      What role do trade partners play in using Takt successfully?
      Trade partners are key collaborators. They help shape realistic flow, manage buffers, and provide feedback during weekly updates.
