Start Free BIM + ISO 19650 Training - Then Try Plannerly on a Real Project
If you want less rework, clearer responsibilities, and fewer late-stage surprises, start with a short, structured training path - then apply it immediately inside Plannerly (free) to turn “good intentions” into a workflow your team can actually follow.
This guide is for AEC BIM Managers, consultants, and owners who want to create consistency across projects without building a new spreadsheet empire every time.
You will leave with a simple plan: take a free certified course, map it to your current project needs, and set up a low-risk pilot in Plannerly to prove value quickly.
Nothing here requires a big rollout. The goal is momentum - and a repeatable system.

Why this works
Most “BIM process” pain is not a lack of effort - it is a lack of structure that can survive real project pressure.
- Training gives shared language. Teams align on what “good” looks like before the first deadline hits.
- A pilot creates evidence. You can prove clarity, accountability, and deliverable quality without a full rollout.
- Plannerly turns intent into a system. Requirements, responsibilities, tracking, and verification live in one connected workflow, not scattered across documents and spreadsheets.

What you will get
- A clear starting point. A free certified course that builds a baseline across BIM, information management, and ISO 19650 concepts.
- A simple “apply it tomorrow” workflow. Turn learning into a project-ready setup inside Plannerly.
- Fewer gaps between scope, delivery, and QA. Make requirements traceable and checkable - not just written down.
- A low-risk way to evaluate Plannerly. Use the free trial to validate fit before committing time or budget.
If you want a broader, non-technical explanation for mixed audiences, Simplifying BIM management is a good shareable read.
Common pitfalls
- Starting with templates instead of outcomes. If the team cannot explain what “done” looks like, the document will not save you.
- “ISO 19650” becomes a document pile. Compliance fails when responsibilities and deliverables are not tracked through delivery.
- No pilot boundary. If the trial is “everything at once,” adoption becomes chaos and results are unclear.
- Verification is left until the end. Checking late creates late surprises. Plan requirements so they can be verified earlier.

Recommended path - from training to a real pilot
Use this 3-step path to move fast, stay practical, and avoid rework.
- Step 1 - Take the free certified training. Start here: Free training. If you want a guided “full workflow” entry, begin with BIM Boot Camp.
- Step 2 - Pick one pilot outcome. Examples: clarify responsibilities, standardize requirements, improve deliverable tracking, or reduce model QA surprises.
- Step 3 - Run a small pilot in Plannerly (free). Start the trial at Plannerly trial, then explore how the platform fits your workflow at Product overview.
Proof points you can validate quickly
- Clearer delivery responsibilities. You can point to who owns what, and when, without chasing emails.
- Less rework. Requirements are structured, consistent, and easier to review before deadlines.
- Fewer late-stage surprises. Verification is easier when requirements are defined in a checkable way.
- Better stakeholder confidence. Owners and leaders get visibility into progress and readiness, not just promises.
