Practical, Hands-On P6 Capability
This programme builds practical Primavera P6 capability across both levels, from setting up a project to controlling it with earned value. By the end, you can plan, schedule, resource-load and report on complex projects using the enterprise-standard tool.
The skills covered in Oracle Primavera P6 Training start with structure: set up the enterprise project structure (EPS), organisational breakdown structure (OBS) and work breakdown structure (WBS), then create and configure a project with the right calendars and settings.
Build a complete activity list with the right activity types, then link activities with Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start, Finish-to-Finish and Start-to-Finish relationships, including lag and lead, to model real project logic.
Run the scheduler (F9), calculate the critical path, and interpret total float and free float. Apply constraints correctly and analyse the longest path for delay and recovery scenarios.
Create resources, roles and cost accounts, then resource-load and cost-load a schedule. Build the project S-curve and use resource curves to model realistic spending and effort across an activity.
Set and manage baselines, advance the data date, and update progress using physical percent complete and actual dates. Run variance analysis to see where a project stands against plan.
Generate BCWS, BCWP and ACWP from a cost-loaded schedule, then calculate SPI, CPI and estimate at completion to measure and forecast project performance the way employers expect.
Manage multiple projects together with cross-project relationships, roll up an EPS portfolio view, and handle enterprise resources across concurrent programmes in P6 EPPM.
Build custom layouts and reports, export to Excel, compare schedules with Claim Digger, and check schedule quality against the DCMA 14-point assessment for contract-ready reporting.
