User guide for RE/RTO

The Lean PlanDo web and mobile features an RE or RTO uses to follow planning and verify, comment on and attach to site tasks.

As an RE/RTO, use Lean PlanDo to see how site work and preparation work are planned, to check the progress the main contractor reports, and to follow project status and performance. This guide lists the features you need and links to the full instructions.

Lean PlanDo is a project delivery tool built on lean methods. Your project team uses the Integrated Lean Project Delivery (ILPD) workflow with the Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) cycle to plan, monitor and improve the project.

Lean PlanDo runs in your web browser, so there is nothing to install. You need an internet connection and a laptop, tablet or phone. Start by signing up or logging in on the web app.

Masterplan

The Masterplan shows the whole project plan, with a filter for the project's critical path.

Lookahead

The Lookahead (the 6-week or 8-week plan where activities are broken down into smaller tasks) is a view of the Masterplan where the project team plans ahead: it breaks each site activity down into tasks, in the order the work will happen.

In the Lookahead the team also plans the preparation work, called constraints (work that must be cleared before a task can be done, such as getting site access).

Do tab

Each week the project team has a list of tasks to carry out on site, in the Do tab. The team monitors these tasks and updates them daily. To see the progress updates of past weeks, open a past week from the week selector on the Do tab.

The RE/RTO plays an important part here. You can comment on any task and attach a photo or document to it. You can also verify the percentage of work done that the main contractor has entered.

Mobile app

Install and log in

Install the Lean PlanDo Site app to track and update site work on the go. It is available for Android and iOS. In the app you can:

  • See the tasks due in the current week, last week and next week.
  • Attach files of any format to a task, in the Attachments tab.
  • Comment on a task, in the Comment tab.
  • See the status of constraints.
