Course Content

Section 1: Introduction to Primavera P6
This section introduces the fundamentals of Primavera P6, including its interface, project structure, WBS creation, and scheduling foundations. Learners will understand how projects are organized before moving into detailed scheduling and resource management.

  • Lesson 1.1: Overview of Primavera P6 Interface
  • Lesson 1.2: Creating Projects and EPS Structure
  • Lesson 1.3: Understanding Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
  • Lesson 1.4: Calendars and Scheduling Basics
  • Section 1 – Introduction to Primavera P6.

Section 2: Activity & Schedule Management

Section 3: SCHEDULING
Scheduling is the core engine of project planning. In this module, you will learn how Primavera P6 transforms activity data and logic into a time-based execution roadmap. Building on the previous modules (WBS, Activities, and Logic), this module focuses on how schedules are calculated, analyzed, and optimized to reflect real project timelines. You will gain a deep understanding of: How Primavera calculates activity dates using forward and backward pass How to identify and interpret the Critical Path How to analyze float and project flexibility How to define working time using calendars How to create and use baselines for performance comparison 🎯 Learning Objectives By the end of this module, you will be able to: Run and interpret scheduling calculations (F9) Identify the critical path and understand its impact Analyze total float and negative float Configure calendars for realistic scheduling Create and assign baselines for tracking and claims 📊 Industry Relevance This module is essential for real-world planning engineering, especially in: Construction project scheduling Delay analysis and Extension of Time (EOT) claims Progress monitoring and reporting Contractual planning and dispute resolution 👉 In professional practice, only delays affecting the critical path are considered valid — making this module crucial for career advancement. 💡 Why This Module Matters Without proper scheduling knowledge: A planner cannot identify project delays Reports become unreliable Claims cannot be justified With this module: You gain control over project timelines You understand how delays propagate You build the foundation for high-value planning and claims roles 🚀 Outcome of This Module After completing Module 3, you will be able to: Develop a fully scheduled project Interpret critical path and float Analyze delays and schedule impact Prepare schedules suitable for client submission and claims analysis

Section 4 – RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Resource Management in Primavera P6 transforms a schedule into a real execution plan. In previous modules, you created: Activities Logic Schedule 👉 In this module, you will add real-world constraints: Labour Equipment Materials Costs This enables: Resource planning Cost estimation Productivity tracking Resource leveling 🎯 Why This Module is Critical Without resources → schedule is only theoretical With resources → schedule becomes execution-ready 📊 Industry Relevance Used for manpower planning Required for billing & cost control Essential for EVM (Earned Value Management) Critical in delay & disruption claims

Section 5 – TRACKING & PROGRESS UPDATING
Tracking is the process of updating the project with actual site progress and comparing it against the baseline schedule. In real projects: Planning creates the roadmap Tracking shows where you actually are 🎯 What You Will Learn Updating actual start & finish Recording progress (% complete) Comparing Planned vs Actual Earned Value concepts (SPI, CPI) Identifying delays and recovery strategies 📊 Industry Importance Required for weekly/monthly reports Essential for client meetings Critical for EOT claims Used in billing & cost tracking

Section 6 – REPORTING & DASHBOARDS
Reporting in Primavera P6 is the process of converting project data into clear, structured, and decision-ready information. In real projects: Engineers execute Planners analyze Clients understand through reports 🎯 What You Will Learn Creating and saving layouts Applying filters and grouping Generating reports Exporting data (Excel/PDF) Creating dashboards 📊 Industry Importance Weekly progress reports Client presentations Management dashboards Claim documentation (EOT support) 👉 A planner’s value is often judged by how clearly they present data

Section 7 – CLAIMS & EXTENSION OF TIME (EOT)
Construction projects rarely finish on time due to: Delays Variations External factors 👉 This module teaches how to: Identify delays Analyze their impact Prepare Extension of Time (EOT) claims Use Primavera P6 as legal/contractual evidence 🎯 What You Will Learn Types of delays Critical vs non-critical delays Time Impact Analysis (TIA) Preparing EOT claims Claim documentation 📊 Industry Importance Used in contract disputes Required for EOT approvals Essential for claims consultants & planners High-income skill in planning domain

Section 8 – Full Case Study (End-to-End Project)
This module simulates a real construction project lifecycle using Primavera P6. Students will: Create a complete project from scratch Develop schedule with logic Assign resources and costs Track progress Perform delay analysis Generate final reports 👉 This is where theory becomes practical expertise 🎯 Learning Outcome After this module, students can: Independently handle a real project Prepare schedules for clients Perform tracking and reporting Support claims and EOT 📊 Industry Value Mirrors real planning engineer workflow Can be shown in interviews Builds portfolio-level experience
