Foundation / 07 modulesSeven modules, each one practised inside Primavera P6 on a live project file. Nothing here is a spectator exercise.
Start with the logic of the project. Set up the EPS, define the project, and build a WBS that reflects how the work will actually be delivered.
In practice: Build a complete WBS hierarchy for a sample construction project.Create and assign calendars, define working days, shifts, holidays and exceptions so every duration in the schedule is grounded in reality.
In practice: Configure a site calendar with non-working periods and assign it to activities.Add activities, set durations and connect them with the right logic types and lags — the foundation of a schedule that can actually be analysed.
In practice: Link a full activity network and trace the critical path.Define the resource pool, assign labour and equipment to activities, and understand how assignment changes duration and cost behaviour.
In practice: Create a resource library and load it onto the schedule.Add cost data to activities, review the project budget, then save and maintain a baseline to measure performance against the approved plan.
In practice: Assign costs, save a baseline and compare it with the current schedule.Update progress, reschedule the remaining work and read the changes in dates, float and the critical path with confidence.
In practice: Run a progress update cycle and interpret the resulting variance.Produce clear, decision-ready output: layouts, filters, grouping and print setup that communicate the schedule to the people who need it.
In practice: Prepare and export a formatted schedule report for a project review.Not a certificate-shaped memory of a demo — four concrete things you can produce on your own.
Set up an EPS, project and WBS that mirrors how the work will actually be delivered.
Add activities, durations and relationships, then find and explain the critical path.
Assign resources and costs, save a baseline and keep the plan measurable.
Update progress and print a report a project review can actually use.
