Dexec Core
The Foundation of Reliable Design Delivery
Dexec Core is the collaborative planning engine that brings Last Planner System (LPS) principles to the design phase — where traditional tools like Primavera P6 often fall short.
Designed specifically for design firms working on complex, multi-package projects, Dexec Core replaces subjective progress updates and chaotic scheduling with a structured, team-driven approach that delivers real visibility and predictability.
Key Capabilities
Collaborative Pull Planning Multiplayer digital pull-planning boards where design managers and package owners work together in real time. Teams build sequences backwards from milestones, clearly mapping dependencies between the 200+ interdependent design packages.
Lookahead Planning & Weekly Work Plans Proactive 2–3 week lookahead planning combined with weekly commitment cycles. Package owners only commit to what they can realistically deliver once all constraints are cleared.
Constraint & Blocker Management Built-in constraint tracking that surfaces missing inputs, review delays, client decisions, or inter-package blockers early — before they impact the entire program.
Rules of Credit (ROC) Engine Accurate, verifiable earned-value progress tracking. Each design package has configurable weighted milestones (e.g., concept approval, draft issuance, internal review, client approval, final release). Progress is only earned when steps are actually completed — giving you a true picture of where the project stands.
Percent Plan Complete (PPC) & Learning Measures planning reliability week after week and captures variance reasons, enabling continuous improvement and more predictable delivery over time.
Real-Time Collaboration Multiple users can plan, update, and resolve issues simultaneously — whether in the office, on-site, or working remotely.
Dexec Core transforms design planning from a top-down, guesswork-heavy process into a bottom-up, reliable production system — giving design teams and project leaders the clarity and control they need to deliver on time and on budget.
It serves as the intelligent foundation for the rest of Dexec. All progress data, constraints, and commitments automatically feed into Dexec Budget for live financial visibility and Dexec Estimate for continuous learning and smarter future tenders.
