From Kanban board to OPC Task: For efficient and insightful lean planning

Introduction

In lean planning, the troublesome but well-known planning method involves the physical “sticker session.” Team members gather around a board, post-its in hand, and stick on their tasks for the week. At the end of the week, the board is rearranged again because not all tasks have been completed. While this method can be effective, there are hefty drawbacks: lack of overview and no direct link to the overall project schedule.south In this article, I’ll tell you more about how Oracle Primavera Cloud (OPC) Task can provide a solution to this.

Make the leap to digitiation

Imagine being able to turn that chaos of paper and post-its into a smooth digital process. OPC offers the perfect solution with the Task Module. No more manually shifting post-its or miscommunicating on tasks. Everything is automatically linked to the relevant activities in the planning. This way, you keep an overview, make sure your team is always in sync and your planners experience less stress processing the lean planning.

Why the OPC Task Module?

  1. From stickers to clever integration
    With the OPC Task Module, the well-known “sticker session” has been digitized and improved. Tasks are directly linked to planning activities, so that shifts are immediately visible to the planner and they can quickly intervene to prevent delays. In this way, there is greater insight into ongoing activities within the project at all levels.   
  2. Constant real-time overview even on your phone
    No more manual shuffling on a physical board; with OPC, the team gets an up-to-date overview of all tasks and their status that they can even view on their phone through the OPC app.north_east This creates more insight and support within the team, since everyone can always see the current schedule of tasks. Delays are reported automatically, saving you time and solving problems faster. 
  3. Efficient collaboration and direct communication
    As with physical stickers, each team member or company gets their own colour in OPC. Tasks can be immediately ticked off when they are completed and those responsible for the next task are immediately notified via integrated handovers, so they can get straight to work on their task. This makes the entire process streamlined and clear.
