👷♀️👷 Multiple Crews in InTakt
When a task is long or resource-heavy, you can assign multiple crews to work in parallel or in a leapfrogging pattern across areas or floors. This helps maintain takt flow without breaking tasks apart or duplicating logic.
🛠️ How to Add Multiple Crews to a Task
- Open Task Properties in Takt Settings
- Click on the task you want to assign multiple crews to.
- Set Number of Crews
- Increase the crew count (e.g., from 1 to 2).
- Confirm your selection.
- Adjust Duration (Optional)
- If the task will now span longer due to scope or sequencing, update the duration (e.g., from 5 to 10 days).
- Save
- You’ll now see the task split across areas with logic showing the leapfrogging pattern.
🔍 What Happens Visually
- InTakt generates two versions of the task:
- Crew 1 of 2 follows one sequence.
- Crew 2 of 2 leapfrogs ahead and continues the pattern.
- Each crew has its own task bar and logic path.
- Leapfrogging can be across non-adjacent zones (e.g., Crew 1 in B and D, Crew 2 in C and E).
🎯 When to Use This
- Long-duration tasks like rough plumbing or drywall.
- When two crews can operate simultaneously to meet schedule targets.
- To avoid splitting a task manually while still enabling parallel execution.
