Multiplayer
Keep everyone involved
This is the part where we say all your problems go away, but you'll still need to push your team and verify their input, we help with that. Your schedule will likely need work too, Planflow facilitates the feedback loop better than a meeting.
- Not for everybody, just like schedule meetings
- Augment—not replace— in-person communication
- Schedule needs to reflect the real world
Not just dates
Plans are easy, execution is hard.
Getting good and honest progress info shouldn’t require a 2-hour meeting or a form that doesn’t get the full picture. With Planflow you collect more than just dates; you get constraints, photos, checkpoints, comments and more, all in an activity log.
- Assign items to Trades or Superintendents
- Get photos of completed work (in context)
- Review and approve input before its synced to P6
- Subscribe to individual items to get notified
Living & Breating
The best plan is the one you have.
Your last schedule was disconnected from reality, so you didn’t look at it. Building blindly almost always leads to delays. With Planflow you get more than a list of tasks with start and finish dates.
- Industry first: auto-calculated Priorities
- See relationships between items
- Suggest edits to durations, blockers, start dates, etc.
- Add needed detail & checkpoints to tasks
Constraint Log
**it happens. Deal with it here.
The schedule doesn’t have everything (that’s a good thing), but you shouldn’t have to fill in the gaps with a disconnected spreadsheet, whiteboard, or pull plan. This leads to wrong priorities, forgotten scope, and missed deadlines.
- Your new constraint log - live and accessible
- Link issues to scheduled work
- Filter by assignee, status, area, priority and more
- Familiar workflows
Always live
At Planflow, we strongly believe that a good plan is constantly evolving... like daily. If you plan the work, then you should work the plan. Something didn’t work out as it should? Don’t wait 2-weeks for the next schedule meeting to adjust.
Always with you
What good is a tool for construction teams if its only available on the desktop? Field staff, on average, spend less than 2-hours a day in front of their desktops. Unfortunately, we’re not desk jockeys, we need something we can command from... the field.
Easy to implement
All that’s required is a P6 schedule. Most customers are up and running in less than an hour and within a day find that their schedule needs to be adjusted for the end-user: the field.
A home for roadblocks
Constraint logs, Issue lists, whatever you call them; they’re things not in the schedule that could hold up the job. With Planflow, anyone can identify issues and link them to a task, automatically prioritizing based on the task’s priority.
Layman’s terms
Total Float, Predecessor, Successor, Critical Path, Finish-Start Relationship: technical terminology like this is what gets construction teams to not follow the schedule. We use plain english to communicate these important data to... laymen.
Feedback loop
When the field uses Planflow to dive into the schedule they quickly find that it doesn’t exactly match what’s in the field. They can suggest other tasks or issues waiting on or blocking their items, identify missing or incorrect scope, or add checkpoints.
Keep a pulse on the job
Can’t miss the golf game but need to know what’s going on? Get notified when critical work get’s behind (or ahead) and when new issues come up. Subscribe to tasks and issues you care about and know instantly every comment, photo, or detail as it happens with our notification engine.
Skip the update
Since your schedule is always live, there is no need for a progress update meeting, saving hours for your most important people. Schedulers can simply download the progress (optimized for P6 import) excel file and update in minutes instead of hours.
Integrate Procore & ACC
No need to create hundreds of activities in your P6 to track procurement, submittals, or even change orders or RFIs. Easily link directly to these items from Planflow, and get notified instantly when their status changes. Coming soon!
