User guide for site team

How the site team signs up, installs the Lean PlanDo Site app and updates task progress, photos and comments from site.

As a member of the site team, use the Lean PlanDo Site app to see how site work is planned, update the progress of your tasks, and follow project status and performance. This guide shows you how to get started and update your site tasks.

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. For an overview of the ILPD method, see Getting started.

Lean PlanDo is cloud based, so you do not need to install any software. You need an internet connection and a laptop, tablet or phone.

Other features
