This is an advanced course explaining the comprehensive process of project planning using Primavera P6 as a tool. A hands-on civil engineering project program is developed showing step by step process so that students learn how to plan, analyze, and manage the project using Primavera P6.

• The first module provides a detailed process of moving a project forward and backward. It’s not unusual to see that the project commencement date moves forward and it’s very vital to know how to move the project program accordingly. The course also delivers a detailed process of setting a baseline of the program. This will assist Managers to monitor the project program as the project progresses.

•  The second module discusses, project resources for each activity. This will help to determine overall project cost as well as the breakup of the cost of each task. This process helps project managers to optimize overall project costs for any bidding or tender activity.

• The third module discusses the process of assessing the percentage completion of each activity. Percentage completion can be provided by updating physical and duration completion.

• The fourth module covers the complete process of assessing critical path and total float within the project program. Critical Path analysis assist project managers to delegate more resources to complete those tasks in time. Float within the program helps project managers to chip-in a new task in the program without impacting the overall project duration.

• The fifth module provides details of printing various project reports such as project reports, cost reports, organograms, from the Primavera P6.
