Description

Building a sound project schedule in Primavera P6 starts with the fundamentals, and this beginner-level course covers them step by step - from creating a project to developing a complete schedule using concepts that scale from small jobs to mega projects.

The content applies to every P6 release from version 8.3 onwards, and the scheduling principles taught follow the guidelines of the DCMA 14-point Schedule Assessment checking, a prerequisite at many companies today. All relevant reference material is available for download, and the course closes with a comprehensive real-world scheduling exercise, with answers worked through in the final session.

Project managers, schedulers, project controllers, engineers, cost controllers, and technical staff will all find the material relevant - including those migrating from another planning package who want to get productive in P6 quickly.

Learners need a basic understanding of project scheduling and access to Primavera P6 version 8.3 or above; a trial copy is available from the Oracle E-delivery website.
