welcome to learn Oracle primavera p6 e ppm in 10 minutes my name is Peter Smith with Atlantic and I will walk you through the 10 minute demo today the agenda for the demo will follow a project lifecycle of initiating phase planning phase executing control and closing project lifecycle the software uses a project initiation form to initiate projects where people fill in key information related to the project strategic program costing and resource needs which is passed through a workflow proof during the initiating phase workflow approval process look at your projects across your portfolio and how they strategically align with your portfolio and corporate strategies do it within a graphical view or a scorecard fashion shown in the bottom in addition to looking at your portfolio and analysis like this you're able to look at the capacity plan needs to take on these initiating projects how many people and what type of roles are you need to fill these projects Oracle Primavera p6 allows you to look at all your projects across your portfolio and forecast the capacity needs for potential projects and do what if planning by moving start and end dates and running filters by different user types or different what-if scenario planning of your own to pick the right strategic mix of projects to move forward with organize your projects in an enterprise project structure select the appropriate one and get scheduling the activity screen is where you're going to be entering in a lot of your data the activity screen is really familiar to a lot of schedulers with a WBS for work breakdown structure milestones the WBS categorized in different activities and so on easily enter information into your project schedule by pressing the insert button creating a new activity naming your activity setting a duration for it and then establishing relationships between other activities and scheduling it out this will give you a feel for how the basic scheduling engine of Oracle primavera p6 works edit the information from the Gantt chart as shown or enter the information into the tabs at the bottom such as the general tab where you can enter in a plan duration for example the scheduling ending is very flexible and powerful whether you're working with a highly complex large thousand activity schedule or a smaller simple schedule create columns sort by filters and also create your own user-defined views so you can really look at a project by the way you want to look at it here's an example of a more sophisticated layout where you're comparing the schedule and the baseline and if you're a really savvy schedule Oracle primavera p6 has features such as check schedule which will allow you to run an analytical schedule features and really get some analysis on the quality of your schedule based on some thresholds you define within the system such as logic negative lag positive lag and so on now building your schedule here you set durations now assigning resources this is an example of bottom-up planning here a selecting activity in selecting either roll resource or search or request a resource as shown here requesting a resource allows you to search for specific resources based on their role and proficiency once you've loaded in your resources you'll be able to see in your assignment tabs all the resources that are assigned to this and then be able to assign it a hundred percent for the planned duration of it enter in specific units which will ultimately calculate and a completion cost based on that resources hourly rate take a look at the team usage chart within Pete Oracle Primavera p6 and you can get a good view of the resource usage on your project in a histogram view now we can look at a whole team for drill into individual resources and look at their usage see areas that are over allocated drill into the areas not only across this one project with all the projects and look at the items and take corrective action from there or email a project manager who is in charge that resource to do so if you want to look at items more of a task or assignment list you can he resources and all the activities they've been assigned to groups by resource shown here and on the right the hours per week in which they're allocated take a real analytical look at the resource allocation with a resource analysis module look at resource usage in a stacked histogram or pie chart area to get a good idea of where resources are spending their time and then take corrective action if needed to plan resources out in the planning resources module you can take more of a top-down approach by selecting a project and assigning a resource at a high level as a percentage of their time allocated to this or across the life of the project you can also export this view to a spreadsheet during the executing phase of your project tract important project information such as issues documents and risk rolled up in a project workspace
