Construction Planning & Scheduling Using Primavera P6

Course Description

Construction Planning & Scheduling Using Primavera P6 develops practical capability in construction scope, eps, obs, wbs, calendars, codes, and schedule setup and activities, logic, constraints, critical path, float, and schedule quality. The learning path connects Oracle architecture, configuration, development, or functional processing to ownership, security, data quality, controls, and measurable acceptance criteria.

The later modules address resources, equipment, costs, productivity, leveling, and procurement interfaces and baselines, progress, earned value, delay analysis, reporting, and recovery planning. Learners work with WBS records, activity logic, schedule logs, critical-path output to distinguish configuration defects from data, access, integration, performance, or operational failures.

By completing the course, participants can support a construction project scheduled from scope and logic through resource planning, progress control, delay analysis, and recovery. They also create an improvement plan covering validation, exception handling, rollback, ownership, monitoring, and production support.

What You Will Learn

• Describe the purpose, actors, and boundaries of Construction Scope, EPS.
• Implement OBS, WBS, Calendars and prove the setup through WBS records.
• Run Activities, Logic without bypassing security, control, or audit requirements.
• Investigate incomplete scope through Constraints, Critical Path, Float before modifying configuration.
• Model Resources, Equipment for the course scenario and compare expected with actual behaviour.
• Verify Costs, Productivity, Leveling using baseline comparisons instead of relying on visual confirmation alone.
• Maintain Baselines, Progress without weakening performance, governance, or supportability.
• Document a corrective and preventive response for late procurement, supported by Earned Value, Delay Analysis, Reporting.

SkillDynamo Training Approach

Delivery combines Oracle-specific demonstrations, guided hands-on exercises, scenario analysis, validation checklists, structured troubleshooting, peer review, and a final improvement plan. Learners document assumptions, settings, data, outputs, exceptions, corrective actions, rollback needs, approvals, evidence, and operational responsibilities.
