The slide outlines the project lifecycle phases in Primavera P6 as a timeline, starting with Initiation where EPS, WBS, and baselines are set up to define scope and objectives. It progresses through Detailed Planning for scheduling and resources, Execution for tracking progress, Monitoring and Control for variance analysis, and ends with Closure for finalizing deliverables and archiving data.

Project Lifecycle Phases in P6

Initiation: Project Initiation Phase P6 supports setup of EPS, WBS, and initial baselines to define scope and objectives clearly. Planning: Detailed Planning Phase Create schedules, assign resources, define task relationships, and establish risk registers in P6. Execution: Project Execution Phase Track progress, update actuals, and manage resources dynamically using P6's tracking tools. Monitoring: Monitoring and Control Compare baselines to actuals, analyze variances, and implement adjustments for on-track delivery. Closure: Project Closure Phase Finalize deliverables, generate reports, and archive data for future lessons learned in P6.

The slide introduces EPS (Enterprise Project Structure), which organizes projects hierarchically across an enterprise in Primavera P6 to support oversight, resource sharing, and portfolio management. It contrasts this with WBS (Work Breakdown Structure), which breaks down project scope into smaller tasks and deliverables for detailed planning, scheduling, cost estimation, and progress tracking.

Data Structures: EPS and WBS

The slide outlines key task types in project management: Fixed Duration for consistent effort with a clock icon, Fixed Start for on-time initiation despite changes using a calendar start icon, and Fixed Finish for locking milestone completion dates with a flag icon. It also explains task relationships, including the default FS (Finish-to-Start) where a successor begins after the predecessor ends, and flexible options like SS (Start-to-Start), FF (Finish-to-Finish), and SF (Start-to-Finish) for overlaps, represented by parallel or tied icons.

Task Types and Relationships

• Task Types: Fixed Duration maintains effort consistency (icon: clock).
• Fixed Start ensures timely initiation despite changes (icon: calendar start).
• Fixed Finish locks completion date for milestones (icon: flag).
• FS Relationship: Successor starts after predecessor finishes (default arrow).
• SS/FF/SF: Enable flexible dependencies like overlaps (parallel/tied icons).

This slide explains how to define task dependencies such as Finish-to-Start (FS), Start-to-Start (SS), Finish-to-Finish (FF), and Start-to-Finish (SF) to establish predecessor-successor relationships. It emphasizes visualizing these links with arrows, identifying the critical path to mitigate delays, and ensuring logical sequencing for precise project scheduling.

Visualizing Task Relationships

• Define FS, SS, FF, SF dependencies for tasks.
• Visualize arrows showing predecessor-successor links.
• Identify critical path to manage delays effectively.
• Ensure logical sequencing for accurate scheduling.

Risk Management in P6 involves identifying and documenting risks through the software's risk register, while assigning probabilities and impacts to quantify their severity. The process continues with developing mitigation strategies for high-priority risks and analyzing them to integrate with project baselines for effective control.

Risk Management in P6

• Identify and document risks using P6's risk register.
• Assign probabilities and impacts to quantify risk severity.
• Develop mitigation strategies to address high-priority risks.
• Analyze risks and integrate with baselines for control.
