Primavera P6





















Primavera is the most powerful Project Management tool that is being used for managing and controlling large scale and multifaceted project related activities, resources. It can organize projects of up to 100,000 activities with unlimited resources and umpteen target plans & strategies.
This is mostly suitable and useful for the Architecture,Engineering and Construction industries. Primavera lets users to Plan project activities, measure progress, assure good governance, improve team coordination and prioritize the project investments and assign corresponding resources. Some of the salient features include Monitor and visualize project performance versus plan, conduct what-if analysis, allows schedule updates from multiple users at the same time, produce schedule and resource reports and graphics. Additional Benefits of this tool include: Most complex projects can be handled in a simpler way, conduct what-if analysis and analyze alternative project plan to speedup the project timeline and efficiency of the execution. Evaluate risk,identify issues  and determine their impact on the schedule and cost as well, enable project collaboration so everyone on the project team has the necessary details to contribute to the project success. I am listing out some of the most important advantages of using this software in the project phase:

1. Risk identification:
When your schedule is not perfect and have some inconsistencies, errors, wrong logics, project expenses grow automatically. Using Primavera P6, one can identify all the risks and necessary mitigation can be planned before hand.

2. User-friendly software:
It looks complex by look as it offers many complex analysis and processes but when you tend to use it on regular basis, you find it more interesting similar to a video game. It is as simple as it is, just input your information and let the software do the analysis for you

3. Visual impact:
Graphical visualization of the project reports play a major role in these days for the Reporting of progress.So Primavera is very useful in generating some of these reports as per the requirement with the data entered.

4. Resource optimization:
It's been difficult to optimize the available resources for the project activities. This P6 tool allows all the resources to be allocated to respective activities to meet the project demand. This tools identifies the activities where resources are required and also areas where resource costs can be minimized by analyzing resource leveling and costs.

5. Tracking and Forecasting:
All the projects can be tracked with respect to the baseline schedule and the activities can be updated on regular basis and thus can rapidly generate the project reports. With the changes from the stakeholders, necessary changes can be made in between in terms of cost, resources, deadlines and then create forecasts for the cost,activities completion dates, resources and other project needs.

6. Improved coordination:
when you project spans over large geographical areas and requires many planners all over, primavera enables us to communicate with the help of notes in the schedule with all the stakeholders involved in the project and it also allows users to access the schedule from anywhere, additionally you may allow users to create their schedule within the software from their own locations and you can have the ownership access to the schedule.

7. Breaking Complex Projects:
The important advantage is that Complex project can be breakdown into smaller projects to make them achievable for smaller teams with confined responsibilities.

This is all about the project management tool Primavera P6, which is being recognized as high-performance project management tool.

  1. Tag: PM203A53. Let me share all of you about #5 Tips for Project Management Success,, I hope you enjoy it

    1. Plan your day using time management techniques

    As a project manager, time management skills are essential because you are dealing with a wide range of tasks that demand a quick turnaround time. Planning your day will go a long way in keeping you organized and increasing your productivity. Assist your task planning by using project management software which helps you track the work of you and your team.

    If you are not very tech savvy, a simple to-do list can also be a great organizational tool. Prioritize your most important tasks by putting them at the top of the list and less important ones at the bottom. Having a visual plan of your daily tasks helps to keep you on track and aware of time.

    2. Include stakeholders in important project conversations

    While you will have plenty of responsibilities regarding the project, don’t neglect your clients.

    Good communication is essential is keeping both parties informed of project progression, curtailing scope creep, and apprised of changing requirements. Some clients may have different expectations when it comes to communication, so make sure to establish the frequency and type of communication (like emails, phone calls, and face-to-face conversations) at the beginning of your project.

    Establishing communication expectations early helps alleviate stakeholder uncertainty about communication frequency and delivery.

    3. Regularly communicate with your team

    Daily team communication helps keep misunderstandings and unclear requirements under control. Keeping your team informed in every step of the project is essential to project management success.

    For example, a study published by Procedia Technology found that good communication skills were the cornerstone of project management. The study examined over 300 “construction project managers, architects, construction managers, engineers and quantity surveyors” and their successes and failures on various construction projects.

    4. Anticipate project setbacks

    Even the best-laid plans often go awry.

    Remember that even with a high amount of planning and attention to detail, your project may still encounter some challenges. Pay attention to complaints from stakeholders or colleagues, and other warning signs, like a missed deadline or cost overrun, that there may be a problem.

    Preventing a crisis will keep your project running smoothly, save you a lot of time, and keep you, your team, and your stakeholders confident in progressing with the project.

    Unfortunately not every complication can be avoided. Crisis management skills are essential for dealing with the unexpected. Project managers need to be flexible and pragmatic. Improvise and make sharp decisions when needed.

    5. Stay focused on the details

    A common problem project managers encounter is having the project aims not aligned with the organization’s objectives. A great project manager will strategize a plan for the project to lead back to the overall success of the business.

    Know your project’s scope by heart and avoid wandering outside of the project’s requirements. It’s too easy to get lost in minor details and forget what your focus is, so a well-planned project scope is essential for success.

    And final, you should use KPI to measure effectiveness of the project, here are full list: 76 project management KPIs
