You've got questions. We've got answers.
Yes, the course provides full lifecycle coverage of Primavera P6 scheduling. Participants learn how to build a Work Breakdown Structure, create activities, define relationships, set durations, apply constraints, and structure logical sequencing based on project requirements. The training also includes resource loading, cost distribution, calendar assignment, and schedule calculation. By the end of the course, learners can independently develop a fully optimized schedule that reflects scope, time, cost, and resource requirements for real-world projects.
Yes, Primavera baselining and performance evaluation are key components of the training. Participants learn how to create different types of baselines, assign a primary baseline, and compare planned vs actual performance. The course explains how Primavera calculates variances in dates, durations, resources, and costs. You will also learn how to interpret performance indicators such as schedule slippage, critical path variance, resource deviations, and progress delays, enabling accurate reporting and project diagnostics.
Earned Value Management (EVM) is taught in detail as part of the project controls modules. Learners understand Primavera’s EVM calculations for SPI, CPI, EV, PV, AC, CV, EAC, and ETC. The course demonstrates how Primavera uses baselines and actuals to generate performance indices and forecast estimates. Participants also learn how to generate Scurves and histograms from cost and resource data, interpret variances, and prepare performance dashboards used in monthly or weekly progress reports.
Yes, Primavera’s resource management tools are covered comprehensively. Participants learn how to assign labor and non-labor resources, define cost rates, apply resource curves, and review resource usage profiles. The training explains how to identify resource overallocation through histograms and spreadsheets, and how to correct imbalances using leveling and smoothing techniques. This ensures that schedules remain realistic, executable, and aligned with available manpower and equipment capacity.
The course provides detailed training on Primavera’s built-in risk, issue, and scenario analysis features. Participants learn how to create a structured risk register, assign probability and impact ratings, and link risks to specific project activities. The program also demonstrates how to track issues, define thresholds, and trigger alerts for performance deviations. Primavera’s Reflection Projects feature is covered to teach scenario planning, enabling learners to simulate schedule impacts, test alternatives, and evaluate mitigation strategies without affecting the live schedule.
