Effective communication with a project owner improves outcomes for all parties involved. During the design phase, intensive and close owner communication is 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 (𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀) 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗻. In production, timely and clear owner input reduces delays by enabling teams to optimize their work on site. But the key to going beyond status update meetings to consistent and substantive communication is a tool that offers clear visualization of the project at every stage. Many owners are not familiar enough with construction scheduling tools like critical path method or Gantt charts to effectively interpret information provided in these formats.

One of the critical differences between collaborative project planning and top-down is the ability to capture input from the whole team. By involving the entire team, you get 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺-𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 that might otherwise go overlooked in the pressure to deliver. But gathering high-quality input from everyone can be time-consuming. Whether you’re conducting a typical Big Room planning session with stickies on the wall, or taking a digital approach with tools like Excel, participants spend most of the meeting waiting to give input. Hoylu eliminates the wait, enabling meeting participants to 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗹𝘆 within their Hoylu workspace, 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 and building on one another’s workspace entries. Whether your planning meetings are conducted remotely or in person, your team benefits from the ability to visualize different work sequences and iterate to find the optimal plan.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 Collaborative, real-time planning affords your team: • Superior problem-solving • More creative solutions to planning conflicts • Increased attention to details that might otherwise go overlooked • Intuitive visualization of different work sequences • Easy iteration to find the optimal plan
