Learn to create, update, and manage projects in Oracle Primavera Cloud (OPC) by building WBS, sequencing activities, calculating forwards and backwards paths, and setting up workspaces and users.
Explore navigation in OPC by using the get started page, the object selector, and the schedule and activities pages to add projects, update activities, and view project home pages.
Explore how Oracle Primavera Cloud uses workspaces to organize environments, data dictionaries, and user access. Design an intentional workspace hierarchy with shared dictionaries and workspace-level security.
Explore how to create and manage workspaces in Oracle Primavera Cloud, assign a parent workspace, set calendars and defaults, save changes, and mark favorites from the get started page.
Create and manage users in Oracle Primavera Cloud from Global Admin, understanding five user types, and how permissions govern access through user groups and permission sets.
Add a new user in Oracle Primavera Cloud by entering details, setting licenses and permissions, and assigning to groups and workspaces, with an email setup notification.
Learn how a project in Oracle Primavera Cloud is a temporary effort to deliver a unique product or result. It aligns with strategic objectives, balancing scope, schedule, cost, and quality.
Create a new project in Oracle Primavera Cloud by selecting a workspace or view, entering details, assigning users, configuring calendars and summaries, and preparing a WBS.
Define the work breakdown structure as a hierarchical decomposition of the project scope that forms the foundation for the schedule, guided by a 100% rule and future activity estimates.
Create a WBS in Oracle Primavera Cloud by adding a design and engineering element, assigning a WBS code, and arranging the hierarchy, then switch to activities to insert tasks.
Define activities as the work elements with duration, cost, resources, and insert into the WBS. Link activities via predecessor–successor relationships to set sequence and critical path, and explore activity types.
Learn to create activities in Oracle Primavera Cloud within a WBS, set types like start milestone, activity dependent, and level of effort, and plan predecessor and successor relationships for duration.
Learn to create and manage workspace and project calendars, set daily working hours and holidays, and define time periods that affect activity durations and scheduling.
Define and sequence activities by establishing relationships that create paths shaping the project schedule. Learn four relationship types—finish to start, start to start, finish to finish, start to finish—plus lag.
Learn to create and manage activity relationships in Oracle Primavera Cloud, linking predecessors and successors with finish-to-start or start-to-start, adding lag, and viewing in the activity network and Gantt chart.
Explore how the critical path method uses forward and backward passes to compute early and late dates, identify the critical path, and determine total float and must finish by date.
Schedule your project by performing forward and backward passes on the Gantt chart, review the schedule log, set critical activities by the longest path, and explore constraints.
Apply activity constraints in a CPM schedule, including start and finish constraints and must finish by, and observe their impact on forward and backward passes and total float.
Apply project level must finish by date and activity start on or after constraints to shape the schedule. Observe total float and constraint indicators after scheduling, and manage activity codes.
Assign activity codes to categorize activities by shared characteristics, enabling grouping, sorting, and filtering of the project schedule. Workspace or project level codes standardize reporting across projects.
Create and manage activity code dictionaries at project and workspace levels, then assign codes to activities using tabs or columns, with sharing options and fill down for efficient analysis.
This practical, hands-on course walks you through the complete lifecycle of project management in Oracle Primavera Cloud (OPC). You’ll start by learning how to create workspaces and set up projects, then build a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), develop and sequence activities, assign resources, and apply cost-loading techniques. You’ll also learn to generate and customize reports that meet various stakeholder needs.
A core focus of the course is Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling. You’ll gain a clear understanding of how OPC calculates project timelines, float, and logic relationships, giving you confidence to manage schedules proactively. Each lesson combines instructional videos, step-by-step walkthroughs, interactive exercises, and knowledge-check quizzes to reinforce learning.
You’ll apply your skills in a guided Deck Renovation project, working through WBS definition, schedule sequencing, cost/resource loading, baseline development, and progress updates using real-world inputs. As the project unfolds, you’ll analyze performance, address variances, and create views and reports tailored to execution and stakeholder review.
Whether you’re transitioning from Primavera P6 or new to Oracle Primavera Cloud, this course will build your technical knowledge and practical skills. By the end, you’ll be ready to confidently manage projects of any size using the tools and methods provided in Oracle Primavera Cloud.
