One of the main principles, collaboration, has previously taken place through co-location of the various actors that take part in the design phase. The COVID-19 pandemic placed restrictions such as social distancing, which led to the digitalization of certain elements in CPD. This paper, based on a construction case in Norway, looks at the effects of the digitalization of CPD. This is done using three research questions: How is digitalized CPD achieved, what strengths and weaknesses arise when CPD is digitalized, and how can the digitalization of CPD improve? The research was done through a literature study and qualitative interviews of eight design participants from the research case. Findings show that the digital start-up session should not be used further, as it has negative ripple effects later in design in the form of less collaboration. Fully digital ICE sessions are effective and worth continuing in the future but are dependent on what type of work is scheduled. Phase scheduling should try to use physical post-it notes during a physical meeting, and later convert the schedule to a digital format. }, author_keywords={Design Management, Last Planner® System (LPS), collaboration, phase scheduling, digital }, address={Edmonton, Canada }, issn={2309-0979 }, publisher={ }, language={English}, document_type={Conference Paper}, source={IGLC}, }
