Managing Projects in Primavera P6 Professional Release 8.0 (Client)

This course leads participants through the entire project life cycle, from planning to execution. Topics include adding activities, assigning resources, and creating a baseline. Participants also gain a thorough background in the concepts of planning and scheduling and are introduced to advanced project analysis methods such as earned value.

All workshops and instruction stress the three basic elements of project management: schedule, resource and costs. At the end of each day, students apply the concepts and functionality they learned in a case study. The course is divided into five sections: Overview and Creating a Project; Scheduling the Project and Managing Data; Assigning Resources and Baselining; Project Execution and Control; and Advanced Topics.
