DESCRIPTION

This advanced Primavera P6 course focuses on applying industry best practices in construction scheduling: detailed WBS and activities, logic and CPM analysis, resource/cost planning, baselines, progress updating, and reporting. Participants build and manage a full construction schedule end-to-end.

OBJECTIVES

Configure enterprise structures (EPS/OBS) and calendars for multi-project environments.
Build a detailed WBS; create advanced activity types and codes.
Develop robust logic; analyze float and the critical/near-critical paths.
Create resources (labor, equipment, materials), costs, and cost accounts; perform resource leveling.
Create/assign baselines; update progress with actuals; perform delay/recovery analysis.
Design layouts, filters, and dashboards; export professional reports.

PREREQUISITES

Basic project scheduling knowledge is required (Gantt, activities, relationships). Prior exposure to Primavera is helpful. Solid Excel skills recommended.
