abstract={Takt planning methods have been used to plan and control production of a variety of construction projects that have been delivered in various contexts. Recognizing that projects vary by type based on different product- and process designs as well as contextual characteristics of relevance to project production, not one but several takt planning methods have therefore emerged. This paper presents the objectives pursued in takt planning and describes projects by type and context, based on their complexity, in relation to these objectives. It outlines several takt planning methods and then matches those methods to project types and contexts. It is clear that no single takt planning method fits all projects and also that takt planning may not be a suitable method to plan some projects. This paper aims to shed light on available takt planning methods and on choosing which one to use when considering the complexity of a given project and its context. },
