9. Notes
โชTotal Float โ Total float is extra time for required time for any activities. The activity can
be delayed by amount equal to total float except when the float in the chain.
โชCritical Activity โ Activity with zero float called critical activity & path joining critical
activity is know as critical path. There can be more than one critical path in a project.
โชFree Float โ total float equal to free float + interfering float.
10. CTEATE EPS
The Organizational Breakdown Structure (OBS) is a hierarchical based structure that represents your
organization. The Enterprise Project Structure (EPS) is also a hierarchical based structure that
represents how your projects are organized.
19. INSERTING ACTIVITIES
After the completion of your work breakdown structure (WBS) in Primavera P6 EPPM, it is
time to define the activities that produce the WBS elements. Activities are the task that we
have to performed.
23. ASSIGNINGRELATIONSHIP
Once activities and activity durations have been added in Primavera , connecting activities with relationships is important for
finding the true length of the project. Precedence diagramming is the foundation of these activity relationships. Experienced
schedulers thoroughly understand the precedence relationships between Activities enabling them to compute accurate project
duration, and also helping them ensure that the project duration is as short as possible.

43. GROUPBYANDSHORTBY
Group and sort enables data such as activities in the activities window, WBS nodes in the WBS window, projects in
project window, and many other data items to be sorted and organized under other parameters such as dates and
resources or user defined activity and project codes.
44. GROUP BY AND SHORT BY

48. USERDEFINEDFILED
Define indicators for user defined fields (UDFs) that will display based on criteria set for field values. For example, you can
choose a graphical indicator to display when the value of the field equals a certain number, or when the value of the field
falls between a certain range of dates.
Before defining an indicator, you need to first create a project user defined field. To create a project user defined field
see Creating Project UDFs.
57. FILTERS
A filter temporarily limits the projects or activities that appear on screen, according to criteria you establish. For
example, you can view active projects or activities scheduled to start during the next three weeks. Use the filters
supplied or create your own. Apply one or more filters to the layout at any time
62. TO CLEAR All ACTIVITIES GO TO FILTERS TICK ON ALL ACTIVITIES
FILTERS - NEW FILTERS
63. CASES OF CONSTRAINTS
Constraints are applied to Activities when relationships do not provide the required result and are often
a result of External Dependencies
65. CALENDAR
calendars are used to define working and non-working days. This calendar data is then used in
the process/calculation of Scheduling, Tracking and Resource Levelling
In any project you have to select a default project and you should add column of calendar
77. CALENDAR- DETAILED WORK HOURS
DETAILED WORK HOURS/DAY CAN BE CHANGED HERE, AS PER
PROJECT REQUIRMENT
78. IMPORT&EXPORT
Use the Primavera XML format to share specific project data with users outside your primary P6 network. This
includes P6 users at other organizations or P6 Professional users. For example, in order to share in-house project
data with an outside firm, export the project(s) to a Primavera XML file, send the data, and the outside firm can
import it into their P6 environment
93. Final Semester Submission
Continued with Mid term Submission
Here I have tried to make plan for initial phase from taking permission
from government bodies to final detailing of layout & design, to
construction & its operation of โPORTโ.
Adding task as per assigned for final submission & with some additional
task I have added as per requirements.

95. CREATE WBS
One of the first steps in planning a project is to break down the project into its major deliverables i.e. major
product or service components. This is known as the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
111. Select the activity to which the resource is to be assigned, Click on Add Resource
ADDING RESOURCES
Step 1:
Select

Step 2:
Add
Resource
Step 3:
Select

113. RESOURCE LEVELLING
If it resource levelling software extend the duration after levelling & if the increase in duration is not significant then
except it.
Resource levelling is a important part of Project Management process during the Planning Phase but it is one of the
most rarely used options in Primavera. Levelling Resources helps ensure that the demand for resources does not exceed
the supply.
118. RESOURCE LOADING
Resource loading mainly involves your manpower or employees. In resource loading, each employee is assigned
a task or a percentage of a project
126. PREPARING PROJECT PORTFOLIO
When you want to add your own project portfolio , go to enterprise ,to sample project go to file
roject portfolios is a feature in Primavera P6 that allows you to load up and implement a small set or portfolio of
projects in the EPS
129. PREPARING PROJECT PORTFOLIO
After that click on Projects and click on assign , selecting the project for the portfolio
Assign
Add project
Window Open
135. REPORT
To modified any default report select the report right click & copy and paste in the same zone. You will see two report in a
same name, the lower one is the copy of report which you can modified as per requirements.
136. REPORT
Go to Tools and select Reports and in it select Reports
Click on
Report
Select Report
150. EARNED VALUE ANALYSIS
Earned Value Analysis (EVA) is an industry standard method of measuring a project's progress at any given point in
time, forecasting its completion date and final cost, and analysing variances in the schedule and budget as the project
proceeds.
151. EARNED VALUE ANALYSIS
Create new file and add activity for Earned value Analysis. A single activity is to be added
152. Edit columns in the window

158. Click on WBS to open the window

Click on Custom percent complete and add value 30 and in the side
window select PF =1
EARNED VALUE ANALYSIS
160. COST ACCOUNTS
We can group the cost in activity level. It mean group activity by WBS or Activity codeโฆ and cost will be rolled up.
So when ever we need to Group cost in very detail level (Even in one activity, one contractor can create different
kind of cost), use the Cost Account.
173. Expenses
A project expense can be many things: administration, travel, consulting, software, facilities, training, you name it.
The Expenses tool is also ideal for project-specific material items,
180. MULTIPLE PROJECTS
Multi projects are those project which are correlated to each other, so in primavera we are interlinking those project as
per there schedule and relation with other project.
193. RENUMBERING ACTIVITIES
It is always possible that we need to change all the Activity IDs in Primavera and this task can be incredibly time
consuming if we try to do it manually one Activity at a time. P6โs has a feature called โRenumber IDsโ which can help to
reorder IDs, but in many situations it is inadequate. It does not change a complex Activity ID which common in project
scheduling these days
210. PROJECT CODES
Assigning Project Codes can offer a more structured silo of information for assessment, grouping like focuses in projects so
comparisons can be made effectively.
235. UPDATING, SCHEDULING PROJECT - WITH
SPOTLIGHT FEATURE
Sometimes itโs the little things that can really differentiate a product from its competitors. One feature I really find
invaluable and unique to Primavera is the Progress Spotlight. Whenever youโre in the process of updating the status of
your schedule, this little gem can really take the guesswork out of what needs to be updated.
241. UPDATING PROJECT BY "AUTO ACTUALS" METHOD
Instead of manually recording actual progress or collecting data from Progress Reporter users, you can automatically
calculate expected progress based on the schedule plan. This technique, which uses an option called auto-compute
actuals, is a quick and convenient way to update your project.
242. UPDATING PROJECT BY "AUTO ACTUALS" METHOD
Add new Column โ Auto Actuals
Click OK

248. USING WORK PRODUCTS AND DOCUMENTS
Project related documentation can be catalogued and tracked in Primavera using the Work Products and
Documents feature
