Course Content

CHAPTER 1 — INTRODUCTION TO PROJECT PLANNING
Project planning is the foundation of successful project execution. It involves defining project scope, breaking down work into manageable components, sequencing activities, and allocating resources efficiently. In construction projects, effective planning ensures timely completion, cost control, and risk mitigation. A planning engineer plays a critical role in developing schedules, monitoring progress, identifying delays, and supporting decision-making. Understanding the project lifecycle—from initiation to closure—is essential for applying planning techniques effectively.

  • Lesson 1.1 – What is Project Planning
  • Lesson 1.2 – Importance of Planning in Construction
  • Lesson 1.3 – Role of Planning Engineer
  • Lesson 1.4 – Project Lifecycle
  • Lesson 1.5 – Introduction to Scheduling Concepts
  • Lesson 1.6 – Introduction to Planning Tools

2. CHAPTER 2 — INTRODUCTION TO PRIMAVERA P6
Primavera P6 is a powerful project management software widely used in construction and infrastructure projects. It enables planners to manage multiple projects, create detailed schedules, allocate resources, and monitor performance effectively. Understanding the core components such as EPS, OBS, and project structures is essential before creating schedules. The interface of Primavera P6 provides various views to manage activities, resources, and project data efficiently.

CHAPTER 3 — PROJECT SETUP
Project setup is the initial step in Primavera P6, where the planner defines the project structure and working environment. This includes creating EPS nodes, defining project IDs, and assigning calendars. Calendars play a crucial role in scheduling as they define working days, holidays, and shifts. Proper setup ensures accurate schedule calculations and realistic project timelines.

CHAPTER 4 — WBS (WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE)
The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a hierarchical decomposition of the total project scope. It organizes work into manageable sections and provides a clear framework for planning and control. A well-defined WBS aligns with construction sequences and BOQ items, enabling better tracking and reporting.

CHAPTER 5 — ACTIVITIES
Activities are the smallest units of work in a project schedule. Each activity represents a specific task with defined duration, start and finish dates. Proper definition of activities, along with coding and classification, enables effective scheduling, filtering, and reporting.

CHAPTER 6 — RELATIONSHIPS & SCHEDULING
Relationships define the logical sequence of activities in a project. Proper linking ensures accurate scheduling and identification of the critical path. Scheduling calculates project timelines based on activity durations, relationships, and constraints.

CHAPTER 7 — RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Resource management involves assigning labor, materials, and equipment to project activities. It ensures optimal utilization and helps in forecasting project requirements. Resource leveling helps balance demand and avoid over-allocation. Step 1 Download the study guide. Step 2 Review training slides. Step 3 Open the sample Primavera project file. Step 4 Complete exercises before attending the live session.

CHAPTER 8 — BASELINE & TRACKING
Baseline represents the original approved plan and serves as a reference for performance measurement. Tracking involves updating actual progress and comparing it with the baseline. Variance analysis helps identify delays and deviations.

CHAPTER 9 — EARNED VALUE MANAGEMENT (EVM)
Earned Value Management integrates scope, schedule, and cost to measure project performance. It provides indicators like SPI and CPI to evaluate efficiency.

CHAPTER 10 — REPORTING & EOT INTRO
Reporting is essential for communicating project status. Primavera provides flexible layouts and export options. Understanding delay types and EOT basics helps in claim preparation.
