Bluebeam Tip: Continuous Improvement Loop for Bluebeam Revu (30–60–90 & KPIs)

Build momentum in Revu with a lightweight continuous improvement (CI) loop that compounds gains every quarter.

  • Define outcomes
    • Target measurable wins: cut review turnaround by 20%, reduce re-work from scale errors to near-zero, and trim page management time via batch tools.
    • Align stakeholders (design, PM, field) on what “good” looks like. If you’re standardizing licensing or training, coordinate early with NOVEDGE.
  • Baseline and KPIs
    • Export Markups List to CSV weekly for a quick dashboard.
    • Track five KPIs:
      • Average review turnaround (hours)
      • % markups with Status applied
      • Tool Chest adoption (% use of standard tools)
      • Rework due to scale/calibration errors
      • Minutes saved via Batch tools/Scripts
  • 30–60–90 day rollout
    • Day 0–30: Standardize Profiles, Tool Sets, Custom Columns, and Statuses; share via Studio Projects or a network location. Source licenses or upgrades with NOVEDGE.
    • Day 31–60: Automate—Batch Link, Batch Slip Sheet, and Markup Summaries; pilot Quantity Link to Excel.
    • Day 61–90: Quality controls—Compare Documents, Overlay Pages, Sequences, and Lock Scale; publish KPI snapshots from CSV.
  • PDCA cadence
    • Plan: Prioritize a backlog (e.g., new line styles, stamps, scripts).
    • Do: Pilot on one project; distribute via a versioned Profile.
    • Check: Review KPIs and user feedback gathered in Studio Sessions.
    • Act: Update standards, archive old toolsets, communicate the delta.
  • Enablement and governance
    • Create 5-minute playbooks for common workflows (takeoffs, slip sheeting, hyperlinking).
    • Quarterly “tuning” session: prune unused tools, refine Custom Columns, and optimize performance.
    • Leverage NOVEDGE for training, deployment advice, and scaling across teams.

Small, consistent improvements—standard tools, reliable data, and disciplined reviews—turn Revu into a predictable, scalable advantage. Partner with NOVEDGE to keep the loop running.
