Construction of the Ryugyong Hotel in
Pyongyang was on hold between 1992 and
2008. Had it been completed on schedule, it
would have been the tallest hotel in the world at

The planning portion of the construction project relates to developing the logic of how
a project will be constructed.
Scheduling consists of integrating that plan with a calendar or specific time frame.

Bar charts begin to fail to provide valuable information when projects become more complex
A general criticism of bar charts is that they do not show clear dependencies between
Changes in the logical sequencing of activities in a bar chart cannot be readily made

Value of Bar Charts
A major strength of bar charts is the ability to clearly and quickly present the status of a project.
No extensive training is required to learn how to extract information from them.

Scheduling Networks (CPM-Critical Path
Method)
Network: A network is a logical and chronological graphic representation of the activities (and events)
composing a project.
Milestone/ Event: An event is the point in time, or an instant at which the status of completion of a project
Activity: A basic unit of work as part of the total project that is easily measured and controlled. It is time-
and resource-consuming.

In 1983, Primavera Systems was founded by Joel Koppelman and Dick Faris in
Philadelphia, USA. The company was quite successful and eventually P3 became the
leading scheduling product in the Engineering & Construction Industries.
In 1999, Primavera acquired Eagle Ray Software which had created a product named
Eagle Ray 1000 Project Management Suit in 1998. Primavera released two products in
1999: P3 E/C for Engineering & Construction and TeamPlay for IT and Financial
services.
In 2004, P5 was released and in 2007 P6 was released.
In 2008, Primavera Systems was acquired by Oracle.
Introduction
Oracle’s P6 gives today’s project mangers and schedulers the one thing they value
most: CONTROL

Hierarchal structure that identifies the company-wide projects and enables organizing
and management of those projects
PRIMAVERA is an Enterprise Project Management software package that enables
many projects to be managed in one database.
These projects may be summarized under a hierarchical structure titled the Enterprise
project Structure (EPS).
An EPS is used for the following purposes:
To manage user access to projects within the database.
To manage activities over multiple projects that have a common interest , such as a
critical resource.
To allow standardized reporting of all projects in the database
Enterprise Project Structure (EPS)
Create a Project
A WBS is a hierarchal arrangement of the products and services produced during and
by a project. The project is the highest level while an individual activity is the lowest
level.
Each project in the EPS has its own WBS.
The process of subdividing project deliverables and project work into smaller, more
manageable components
Sample WBS
Add Activities
The lowest level of a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and, as such, are the smallest
subdivision of a project that directly concerns the Project Manager.
Contains all the detailed information about the work:
• Activity ID
• Description
• Duration
• Calendar
• Predecessor / Successor
• Resource / Cost Budget
• Constraints
Assign Relationships
Precedence diagramming method (PDM)
PDM is a method used in Critical Path Methodology (CPM) for constructing a project
schedule network diagram.
Four types of dependencies or logical relationships
a) Finish to Start (FS)
b) Finish to Finish (FF)
c) Start to Start (SS)
d) Start to Finish (SF)
Assign a Baseline
A Baseline is a complete copy of a project plan that you can compare to the current
schedule to evaluate progress. Before updating a schedule for the first time create a
baseline. It provides a target against which one can track a project’s cost, schedule and
performance.
Up to three baselines can be compared at once. Baseline projects do not exist as
separate project to access.
Resources
NOTE
Labor and non-labor resources are always time-based, and material resources, such as
consumable items, use a unit of measure you can specify
Four levels of Planning
As the level increases, the amount of information required to maintain the schedule will increase and,
more importantly, your skill and knowledge in using the software will increase
