Why a CPM project schedule is developed?

Project Management Scheduling

In construction project management, planning holds vital significance.

Planning is one of those activities that is ubiquitous to construction. Knowingly or unknowingly, planning is a part of our psyche, as we are always looking ahead.

The success and the failure of any given project can be attributable to a successful plan and its subsequent implementation. A good plan is detailed and comprehensive, citing all the possibilities that could occur on the ground as well as having some contingencies for when things go wrong.

What is Project Schedule?

TO understand the nature of a CPM schedule, first, we need to delve into what a project schedule indicates. Scheduling is part of the planning process, and a project schedule is the result of this activity. Successful scheduling requires the scope of the project, duration of activities, and their interdependencies.

Once the interdependencies between the activities have been noted, you can input these into a planning software such as Primavera P6. Now, based on these interdependencies and the duration of the individual activities, you will get the longest paths and the shortest paths for project completion.

What is the Critical Path Method?

The critical path is usually referred to as the shortest path to achieve project completion. It means that this path cannot be squeezed any further in a bid to shorter the completion time of the project even further.

Once this path has been calculated, project managers get to know the milestones and the key activities that they need to focus on for project completion. For example, project activities falling on this critical path must be done in the allocated time; otherwise, the project schedule will slip further forward.

Why is the CPM Schedule Important?

The importance of the CPM schedule stems from the scheduling activity itself, which is a lynchpin of planning. A good plan results in an excellent schedule that is realistic and easy to implement. Moreover, it has contingencies and overlaps non-dependent activities for quicker project completion.

The CPM schedule offers insight into those activities that must be completed on time; otherwise, the project will be delayed. It also tells us the activities that need the project manager’s complete attention to the project’s overall success.

Use of Software and Resource Constraints

Another aspect of a project schedule is the resources needed to complete the project. In a typical plan for smaller projects, resource constraints are usually ignored. However, they are an essential part of scheduling and sometimes can become the limiting factor in a schedule.

The resource constraints can be added in project scheduling software which can result in slightly different schedules. The new CPM path will tell the project mangers the bottlenecks created from the limited resources they have.

The CPM schedule is an important tool for the successful completion of a project and the best friend of a project manager who, if adheres to this plan can steer the project towards completion in the given time.

Process Improvement – Project Management

This article covers the organizational use of Primavera Software.

It mainly focus on the abundance of functionality in oracle primavera. unlocking and correctly using those capabilities is the key to maintaining a successful implementation.  PSG consultants have extensive experience in all functional aspects of the Oracle Primavera application suite.

Process-Improvement

Our consultants can work through your business processes to ensure that the functional capabilities provided by the Oracle Primavera suite are leveraged in a cost efficient manner and to provide benefit to your users specific to accuracy, time-saving, reporting and ease of use.

Our Experience

Demonstrations

The Oracle Primavera manuals are good but sometimes there is no substitute for seeing the tool in action.  Our consultants have demonstrated virtually every component of Oracle Primavera to audiences ranging from senior management to technical team members.

Process Design

To achieve an automated workflow that guides users through standard business processes, Oracle Primavera provides the mechanism to send actions to individuals to complete the steps identified.  Escalation and reminder conditions can also be placed into the process to prevent bottlenecks.

When data changes, processes can react to the data change, allowing steps to be executed in an automated fashion to notify and ultimately rectify.  PSG consultants have designed processes to aid in the compliance of many requirements (e.g. Sarbanes Oxley) to automate time approvals to facilitate conditional time approvals, define risk management processes, and outline project and program creation.

Financial Structure Maintenance

The financial capabilities within Oracle Primavera can appear to be complex in terms of all of the settings that need to be made, classifications to define, matrices, bill cycles,  charge backs, etc.  PSG consultants can work with your finance department to identify and install the financial attributes required to achieve a streamlined project accounting process.  Furthermore, our technical staff we can establish a link between Oracle Primavera and your finance systems to provide transparency into all your portfolio investments.

Security Structure

The security functionality within Oracle Primavera allow for multiple levels of granularity :

Instance Based – Where the user has a specific right to an instance of an object e.g. an individual project.

OBS Based – Allowing on the organizational structure that has been defined for your company and linked to the many objects within Oracle Primavera e.g. Projects, Resources, Processes.

Global – Allowing users access to all instances of a particular object or defines an area of the application they can see (e.g. Administration)

Additionally, there is financial security which is governed by the entity structure defined as part of the financial setup i.e. membership to an entity gives certain restrictions on what a user will be able to do such as. Post to WIP or Billing, etc.

PSG consultants are be able to aid you in defining a security model which can be adapted easily for future changes without complicating the business.  New users can then be identified by a particular role to be easily added to certain groups to enable set up and go on Oracle Primavera to ensure that the new starter process is more streamlined.

Primavera Unifier And Primavera uDesigner Experience

The topic which would be covered in this article would be the use and importance of a unifier. PSG’S unifier consultants can assist in various programs and activities which include training, implementing and process modeling using Primavera unifier and primavera uDesigner experience. Which was formally known as skire.

Contact us today to discuss your implementation and oracle cloud deployment etc. it would surely be the best solution for your training needs.

When getting started, there are some important introductions to be made:

Oracle primavera unifier deployable on premise or hosted.

  1. Primavera unifier (on premise):

Traditional software licenses that you install in your own environment.

  1. Primavera unifier cloud service (hosted):

A cloud service hosted and managed by oracle on oracle’s servers.

Primavera unifier is made up of five separately licensed modules:

Primavera unifier capital planning

Primavera unifier project delivery management

Primavera Unifier for Cost Control

Managing costs on a project by looking in the rear view mirror makes project controls a nearly impossible task. Yet, that is how many of today’s capital projects are managed, whether done using spreadsheets, an ERP system or an internally developed solution. Being able to see pending costs in real-time with the ability to see all of the underlying and related causes, including the critical engineering information for immediate analysis, is the only way to ensure proper cost control.

Unifier’s Cost Manager solves these problems and more. Whether you are executing multi-year capital programs, managing the construction of a single new facility, or managing a portfolio of IT projects, the Cost Manager delivers real-time visibility into the financial status of your projects or programs. All financial data — funding, budgets, commitments, appropriations, expenditures, etc. — are available in the cost sheet. You will have full confidence in the accuracy and timeliness of your forecasts, estimates and budget control.

The cost sheets employ a familiar spreadsheet-like interface, which can be tailored to match your existing standards. Define your own break- down structure, column definitions, formulas and labels. Drill down to individual records and transactions, even line items, from any source data, including critical engineering information and workflow history. Supplement the cost sheet with supporting worksheets and work packages.

As you would expect from Unifier’s integrated solutions, the cost manager works seamlessly with the funding manager, schedule manager, cash flow engine, portfolio manager, business processes, earned value calculations, resource manager, project gates and more. Unifier’s overall Cost Manager solution also includes fully configurable schedule of values and Payment Application support.

Primavera Unifier for Document Management & Collaboration

Having the most current documents readily available to all project participants is critical to driving efficiency and reducing errors and omissions on projects. A robust audit trail of document changes reduces tension across project participants, decreases the risk of change orders and claims, and helps drive on-schedule and on-budget performance.

The Document Manager is part of Unifier’s secure, web-based architecture, allowing superior local or worldwide collaboration between project team members or across the organization.

Have Problem Listing Open End Activities In Primavera P6

If you want to list up open-end activities in Primavera P6 and you can’t find any option in p6. A simple way is exporting activity relation detail to excel and separate predecessor with only SS successor. But that is a too lengthy process because at times you don’t know what formulas to apply in excel for fast working.  In excel one predecessor can have more than one successor. So you have to select predecessors with fully SS relation successors only.  Download are free to use schedule viewer from www.xerviewer.co.uk . We have a project health check section which provides various checks including ‘ACTIVITIES WITHOUT SUCCESSORS’

There is a checkbox under this section where you can include or exclude activities with SS successors only. You can then export the activities to excel.  Hope this would be of great help for you on your project. You can still contact our experts if you face any ambiguity on provided email addresses globally or contact to the vendor who provided you with the software.

Here are some problems that you might face and we are giving solution to it in advance so that our blogs could be of great help for you. If you use the above mentioned schedule viewer which is, www.xerviewer.co.uk and if it proves to be good there might a problem arise that it shows activities without predecessors or successors. It might not show open end activities. Only showing milestone activities with no successors and predecessors, this might create a lot of confusion or ambiguity. The problem can be, your, not tagging the checkbox. Consider, start to logic as missing.

Done. The other problem can be how to export that list to excel. When you try to export the whole project is exporting. Well that is a big issue but you need not to worry. When all the project activities are exporting including those without successors but you just want to export the list, not the Gantt then what you need to do is after clicking export and the options box comes up, you ought to select ‘expand to level 1’ and deselect the ‘ draw Gantt option’.

 Untitled2

Another problem that can rise is, what can be the formula or any other method for extracting SS relation activities in excel. The solution is using the formula count if (). You could sum up the total number of successors for each activity ID and the subtract the number of SS successors.

Another problem can be with the registration code being invalid there can be multiple reasons of it but one that have been commonly witnessed is moving or copying the existing file if you have copied or moved the file, the new file would need it’s own registration key. For the key that has been generated to you, you must use it for the existing file and not for any have new, moved or copied file.

Tips and Tricks to Accurate Project Estimation

If you’ve been a project manager for a considerable amount of time, you understand of which project estimating could be a stool blast. The longer term is usually murky in fact it is up to us to attempt to predict that. Quite often, project administrators/managers end up remote using their rates as a result of volume of variables, most of that happen to be completely unforeseen along with appear in the center of the project. Various other situations, estimations are away from due to the untouched subjectivity of the undertaking administrator. Let’s have a look at several ways to strengthen our own project estimating.

Enterprise Project Management

Tips & Tricks:

  • Many times, project supervisors/managers feel pressured to generate their forecasts go with the constraints on the project’s budget. When a project manager are able to keep his quotes/estimates low, it appears to be good in order to fellow mangers as well as executives from the organization. Yet such a estimate just serves a motive while it truly is on report. It doesn’t even have a real life application. As soon as an overage arises, the load is within the project manager to explain why these kinds of low figures were projected. Project managers have to be willing to change the range if the idea conflicts with the entire budget. It is up to them in order to request in which their team work from the budget’s demands to finish the same job.
  • In case your team is not acutely conscious of common risks, it will likely be difficult for you to accurately estimate the price and time period of some sort of project. In the typical venture estimating time period, a staff will zoom with the assessment, arrived at the consensus that the project is usually risky and automatically put extra hours towards forecast. This isn’t the proper way to estimate. After you plan, you must apply the particular mitigation plans plus the registered possibility while with the time that it will take to do them. By way of example, if you believe that you could save time later on in life with some sort of technological solution which will save hundred hours, be sure to account for the 30 or so hours that it will take to develop and implement the perfect solution to begin with.
  • When you’re forecasting the project, you should include the contingency. This is something that is included at the outset of the project while using the expectation that it will be spent. So tend not to exclude it simply to make that appear that this project will not be costly. Besides the monetary concurrent, you should likewise include estimations for your resources and also the hours that it should take to complete each of the work that this contingency provides. Remember, if you do not need the particular contingency, the project are going to be done before expected plus your business will still hold the funds for upcoming use.
  • This often helps you to hire exterior professionals to deliver critical advice about certain facets of the task. Sometimes you only don’t possess the personnel in-house which is necessary to shoulder force in a timely manner. Certain kinds of work demand highly particular skill units and understanding bases so please outsource the job to people who can practice it quickly and in a comprehensive fashion, like the experts at IMS.
  • Be sure you double check for ancillary activities which are often forgotten. Things including client comments, fixing bugs and meetings tend to be missed when project mangers make an effort to consider the many tasks, extent and deliverable. Actually, ancillary activities like those already stated occur quite frequently throughout some sort of project and they can produce an extremely negative influence on your appraisal efforts. While clear estimates will likely result in higher prices, you’ll save yourself plenty associated with drama, effort and time down the trail by determined for reliability. This approach, you’ll have the capacity to alter the actual scope or perhaps expectations first of the actual project as opposed to dealing with them smack dab down the middle of a challenge.

Important Takeaways:-

  • Estimating isn’t exciting work nevertheless it must be exercised and it’s necessary to get as accurate as you can.
  • Accurate estimating is vital to the two project’s success plus your organization’s achievement so will not manipulate numbers so that they can generate minimal anticipated costs.
  • A number of different factors need to be considered while estimating. Don’t ignore certain factors simply to present any low-cost project to your peers.
