In this episode, Jason Schroeder and Beanie break down project changes as a major cause of project failure, and why most teams unintentionally create variation that stretches durations and wrecks flow. They connect changes to global vs. local optimization, showing how "nice-to-have" tweaks can destroy the overall goal if they don't protect the bottleneck and the plan. You'll hear practical field stories, plus the habits middle, and keep everyone aligned with a visual plan.
What you'll learn in this episode:
- How local optimization creates unnecessary project changes that hurt the global goal.
- Hthat reduce changes: verify full kit, don't start unless you can finish, manage the dip in the Theory of Constraints helps you decide which changes matter and which don't.
- Why "don't start unless you can finish" (verify full kit) prevents midstream chaos.
- How short cycles and rhythm reduce the motivation dip and keep crews finishing zones.
- Why visual planning gets everyone on the same page and cuts down variation and change.
Are your changes helping the whole system reach the goal or just making people feel busy while the project slows down?
