PRIMAVERA PROJECT
MANAGEMENT MODULE

Primavera was launched in 1983 by Primavera Systems Inc. and was

acquired by Oracle Corporation in 2008. The latest version of Primavera is
8.3 of Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management

The Project Management module enables us organization to store and

manage its projects in a central location. The module supports work
breakdown structures (WBS), organizational breakdown structures (OBS),
user-defined fields and codes, critical-path-method (CPM) scheduling, and
resource leveling.

BENEFITS
Management benefits
Ensures thoroughly control of deadlines and the provisioning of resources
assigned to the projects at organization level and accurately describes the
progression and identifies the key events
Provides unitary and structured insights for all the ongoing investments
Allows finding the blind spots of the investments and making corrective decision
in real-time.

User benefits
Automatically retrieves the information from the quotes/cost estimates programs;
Tracks down to the smallest detail the execution stage of the works and the
settlements, and allows comparing the execution stage to the initial planning
Provides information about the project progress stages as tables and Gantt
charts
Tracks, coordinates and corrects by scenario method
Provides real-time information for fast and objective decisions;
Builds "What If"-type analyses.

Cost benefits
Ensures
features
for
risk
management,

2.1 OBS (Organizational Breakdown Structure)

President

The organizational breakdown structure (OBS)

is a global hierarchy that represents the
managers responsible for the projects in
enterprise.
The OBS usually reflects the management
structure of organization, from top-level
personnel down through the various levels
constituting your business.
We can associate the responsible managers
with their areas of the EPS either nodes or
individual projects.
Structure of the organization, from top-level
personnel down through the various levels.
Constraints: Maximum of 25 levels can be
created.
Maximum character length of an OBS element
is 100.

2.2 EPS (Enterprise Project Structure)

The Enterprise Project Structure (EPS) forms the hierarchical structure of your database of projects.
Each EPS node (or folder) can be subdivided into multiple levels to represent the work that needs to be
done in your organization. The number of levels and their structure depend on the scope of your projects
and how you want to summarize data.
Perform top down budgeting.
Organize OBS and WBS into one common structure.
Manage multiple projects.

EPS create/edit form

:

dding project to EPS hierarchy.

We can organize unlimited number of Projects in EPS in groups.

2.3 Creating Calendars

Create and assign calendars to each
resource and each activity. These
calendars define the available work-hours
in each calendar day. We can also specify
national holidays, your organization's
holidays,
project-specific
work/nonworkdays, and resource vacation days.
Calendar assignments are used for
activity scheduling, tracking, and resource
leveling.

Global: Contains calendar that apply to all

projects.
Resource: Separate pool of calendars for
each resource.
Project: Separate pool of calendars for
each project.

2.4 WBS (Work Breakdown Structure)

A WBS is a hierarchy of
work
that
must
be
accomplished to complete
a project, which defines a
product or service to be
produced.
The WBS is structured in
levels of work detail,
beginning
with
the
deliverable itself, and is
then
separated
into
identifiable work elements.

Project

Civil Works

Buildings

Ware House

Equipment Fdns

Foundation

Superstructure

Finishing Works

Admin Building

Maximum of 50 levels are

available.
Activities are fundamental
work elements of a project.
They are the lowest level of
Work Breakdown Structure.

2.5 Defining Resources.

Resources include the personnel and equipment that perform work on
activities across all projects. Resources are generally reused between
activities and/or projects.

2.6 Adding activity to WBS

WBS
Task / Activity

Activity Detail form

List of common Inputs / Information to be given to an activity

Activity ID, Name & Type of activity.

Start, Finish Dates (Early, Late).
Steps of an Activity (Breakdown the activity to smaller units).
Relationship between activities (Predecessor, Successor).
Resource Assignment (Labor, Non-Labor & Material)
Activity Calendar.
Constraints.
Status of activity (Actual start & finish dates, % of progress).
Expenses.
Any other comments, notes etc.

2.7 Scheduling Project

Project schedule can be calculated

one of two ways: when we choose

the Scheduling command or each
time we make a change that affects
schedule
dates.

The

Critical Path Method (CPM)

scheduling technique is used to
calculate project schedules. CPM
uses
activity
durations
and
relationships between activities to
calculate the project schedule.

Updating Progress EV Analysis

To update the progress of the individual activity, the following inputs are to be given in the activity detail form.
1. Start Date (If activity is started)
2. Finish Date (If activity is completed)
3. % of duration completed (if activity is in progress)
4. Remaining duration to complete the activity

Objective
Problem statement:
Plan college admissions drive SNAP-IT with SCMHRD.
What is SNAP-IT:
Pan India drive to boost SCMHRD applications and clear aspirant doubts &
queries regarding SNAP & SCMHRD.
Objective:
To enumerate and logically arrange all the activities required for SNAP-IT
in a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), along with resources and
responsibilities assigned to each of those.
Approach:
Using Primavera
Prepare OBS> Create WBS> Create activities and assign to WBS> Assign
Relationships between activities> Assign Resources & Responsibilities
