S-Curves Made Easy in Primavera P6

These days, S-Curves are being made compulsory in the progress reports. S-Curve is nothing but display of labor units, Cumulative costs or other quantities against time. If it is a must to generate the S-Curve without having proper information on Costing and resources, there is a trick to generate the Curve with the dummy resource weights Let's see how we can generate the S-Curve

Step-1: Develop a schedule with proper WBS.


Step-2:  Go to Resources tab and Right click, select Add to create a resource of Resource Type as "Labor".


Step-3: Go to Activities Tab and click on Columns icon to add columns "Resources", "Budgeted Labor units", and "Actual Labor units".

Step-4: Now assign the labor resources to all the activities by selecting all the activities (using shift button) at a time and by holding Shift button left click on the resources cell of the last activity and select the created resource so as to assign resource to all activities at a single time.(saving time rather than assigning for each activity).

Step-5: Now, assign the planned weights in the "Budgeted labor units" cell to all the respective activities.

Step-6: When you update and schedule w.r.t  status date, you will see the actual weights in "Actual labor units" column

Step-7: To view the S-Curve, click on  "Resource usage profile" icon.


Step-8: To print this S-Curve or to make a Pdf, Go to Printview>>Page setup>>options>>  select only profile and click ok.


Hope you understand this exercise. A video demo of the same has been shown below for your better understanding of the tutorial.
