You have used Oracle Primavera P6 Professional for some time, and your basic knowledge includes preparing a dynamic network schedule with activities and relationships. But what do all the different activity and duration types mean? How can I generate Earned Value S-curves based on the project progress? This module goes in-depth, while taking account of the Best Practices of Project Controls. Primaned has more than 30 years’ experience in implementing and training in Primavera, and this module is based on those years of practical experience.
In this two-day module, there is also time for any specific questions you may have, and you can learn optimally from the tutor’s practical experience and expertise.
