What you'll learn
PRIMAVERA – Oracle Primavera P6 is a professional project planning and scheduling course designed for learners who want to develop practical skills in planning, scheduling, monitoring and controlling engineering and construction projects.
The course covers the complete Primavera P6 workflow, including Enterprise Project Structure (EPS), project setup, Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), activities, activity relationships, calendars, scheduling, critical path analysis, resources, resource leveling, cost management, baselines and progress tracking.
Learners will also understand project performance monitoring using Earned Value Management (EVM), schedule variance, cost variance, resource utilization and project control techniques.
Practical projects based on residential buildings, commercial projects, road construction and infrastructure development help learners apply Primavera P6 skills to realistic project planning scenarios.
