## How to use it

1. Start from the current master schedule. Pull every activity that starts, runs or finishes in the next three weeks.
2. Break each one down to the level a foreman plans at: an area, a crew, the days it runs.
3. For each activity list what must be true before it can start: answered RFIs, approved submittals, material on site, inspections passed, the previous trade out of the way.
4. Review it with the trades every week, in the coordination meeting, and give every constraint an owner and a date.
5. Roll it forward one week at a time. Anything that slipped goes back to the scheduler to update the master.
