Description

Course Objective: Introduction to Primavera P6

This course aims to equip students with advanced techniques in Primavera P6 to optimize construction project planning and scheduling. Students will learn to enhance project performance, increase profitability, and maximize business value by leveraging critical path drag and cost analysis.

Critical Path and Drag

A critical path is a sequence of activities directly impacting the project's overall duration. Drag, an essential concept for project scheduling, quantifies the delay caused by a critical path activity or the potential time savings from accelerating such activities. (Stephen Devaux)

Beyond Traditional Project Management

While traditional project management, as outlined in the PMBOK Guide, emphasizes project execution and timely delivery within budget, this course delves deeper into strategic project management. Key objectives include:

  1. Maximizing Business Value: Identifying and capitalizing on opportunities to increase the overall value derived from projects and investments.

  2. Enhancing Profitability: Implementing strategies to improve project margins and overall financial performance.

  3. Realizing Broader Benefits: Recognizing and addressing the wider societal and environmental implications of projects, such as reduced traffic congestion, accelerated drug development, and improved public health outcomes.

By mastering these advanced techniques, students will be empowered to drive significant improvements in project outcomes and contribute to organizational success.

Who this course is for:

  • This mastercourse is for projectmanagers and project planners/schedulers who want to learn how to use drag, drag cost and the DIPP to enhance profits of a project.
