Nevertheless, like any program, it has many issues. One of the main issues is the dangling relationships. Dangling relationships in primavera happen when the activities of a project are not linked [...]

Introduction Becoming proficient in the level of effort activities in project planning can make a significant distinction in your career. As people are always concerned about durations and scheduling, those activities provide strategic scheduling So, let us discuss The Level of Effort activities together and learn some helpful tips and tricks for using them efficiently while planning. What is the Level of Effort (LOE) Activities? Level-of-effort activities, often abbreviated as (LOE). They include all the activities involved in the project delivery which are the primary tasks necessary to produce the deliverables but do not produce a specific deliverable. Yet, it [...]

Introduction Project scheduling is the most challenging part of controlling timelines and ensuring that the projects are delivered within the specified time. Primavera P6 is a top project management software, and it allows the project team to determine when they are on track. Float is one of the most important calculations in CPM software as it tells how much schedule flexibility exists. A negative float is an indicator pointing at something wrong in the project plan and the project’s deadline will not be made. So, in this article, we will talk about the negative float in Primavera P6 and [...]

Introduction In project management, especially in large-scale projects such as construction, planning, and scheduling are the key to successful project execution; one of the most popular and important techniques used in project scheduling is the critical path method (CPM). Primavera P6 is one of the main software tools used in project management. It helps the project team visualize and analyze the critical path to ensure the project stays on track. This article will not only provide an in-depth understanding of the concept of the critical path method, its importance in construction project management, and how to analyze critical paths [...]

Primavera P6 uses XER format, while Microsoft Project relies on MPP format, which makes sharing data across platforms not a [...]

Introduction During the project lifetime, we often need to keep track of our actual vs planned schedule to report if we are on track, ahead, or behind. While using Primavera p6, calculating the delayed days can be a little tricky. Here is a simple guide so that we can detect delays and filter them so that we can have an insight into these delays and deal with them for successful project closure. Firstly, let us make some definitions clear: Key Definitions Total float: it is the maximum duration for an activity to finish without delaying the entire project. The [...]
