Why Choose Us

The Primavera P6 for Integrated Project Scheduling Course gives project planners, schedulers, and project managers a comprehensive, hands-on capability in Primavera P6 covering project setup, WBS development, activity management, resource and cost integration, baseline management, progress measurement, Earned Value Management, and professional reporting across single and multi-project environments.

Primavera P6 is the industry-leading project scheduling platform across construction, engineering, oil and gas, infrastructure, and capital projects. Professionals who can use it effectively — not just navigate its interface but apply it with governance discipline, resource integration, EVM principles, and schedule control rigour — are significantly more capable contributors to any project delivery environment.

This course builds that capability systematically. Delegates progress from P6 architecture and project setup through WBS development, activity logic, resource loading, cost integration, baseline management, critical path analysis, and schedule variance, to EVM integration, professional reporting, dashboard development, and delay analysis. Practical exercises and case studies are embedded throughout.

The Primavera P6 for Integrated Project Scheduling Course is built for planning and project management professionals who want to use P6 with the technical depth and process discipline that complex, integrated project schedules demand.

Course Goals

What are the Goals?

The Primavera P6 for Integrated Project Scheduling Course is designed to develop comprehensive Primavera P6 capability across project setup, scheduling, resource and cost integration, progress measurement, performance analysis, and professional reporting.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Explain P6 architecture including EPS, OBS, and project structures and set up projects with appropriate calendars, preferences, and governance settings
  • Develop an effective Work Breakdown Structure aligned with scope and contract requirements
  • Create and manage activities including types, durations, milestones, relationships, logic, and constraints
  • Validate schedule logic and apply best practices for schedule quality and governance
  • Create and assign labour, non-labour, and material resources and apply resource loading, levelling, and calendar management
  • Integrate cost and schedule data, develop budgets, forecast cash flow, and monitor resource and cost performance
  • Create and manage baselines and apply progress measurement, data date management, and schedule recalculation techniques
  • Identify and manage the critical path, conduct schedule variance analysis, and forecast project completion dates
  • Integrate Earned Value Management concepts with Primavera P6 for performance measurement
  • Produce professional reports, dashboards, and management-level schedule presentations and apply multi-project and portfolio scheduling principles

  • Graduate planning and project management professionals building a structured, practical P6 foundation
Learning Approach

How will this Training Course be Presented?

The Primavera P6 for Integrated Project Scheduling Course is delivered through a structured, software-focused learning approach where P6 application is central to every day's content. The course builds progressively from project setup and WBS development through activity management, resource and cost integration, baseline management, performance measurement, and professional reporting. Practical exercises and case studies are integrated throughout every day, ensuring delegates develop direct, hands-on P6 competence alongside conceptual scheduling knowledge.

The course concludes with a comprehensive review, case study analysis, and an implementation roadmap session that helps delegates apply their P6 capability within their own project and organisational contexts.

Delivery methods include:

  • Instructor-led P6 sessions covering architecture, project setup, scheduling concepts, and governance best practices
  • WBS development and activity management exercises applying scope alignment, relationship logic, constraint management, and schedule validation
  • Resource and cost integration workshops assigning resources, applying levelling techniques, integrating cost and schedule, and developing cash flow forecasts
  • Baseline management and progress update sessions applying measurement techniques, data date management, and schedule recalculation
  • Critical path and variance analysis exercises identifying critical activities, analysing schedule variances, and forecasting completion
  • Implementation roadmap session helping delegates define how to apply their P6 capability within their own project environments
