Evolution to Primavera Project Portfolio Management

Just a decade ago, profuseness in existence of automatic systems, Enterprise Management Solutions, ERPs was rare and could not be envisioned. Enterprise Resource Planning systems, Management Information Systems, Financial Management Systems were not considered to be worth investing huge amounts in, like millions of dollars as their value for money was not acknowledged and man was too less refined intellectually, technically and information technologically and to concepts like artificial intelligence in respect of Enterprise systems. But a boom was witnessed back in 2001 of newer and newer computer languages which were being invented and their process of becoming quickly obsolete.  Every passing day was bringing revolutionary changes in the way gigantic enterprises operated in global village scenario compared with outdated practices. IT revolution had trailed French revolution.

portfolio_management_evaluation

Now heaps and piles of work get done in hours that dozens of employees on huge pay scales used to do in months. But it has only changed the way an organization operates. For man-power or human resource too, IT revolutions and automations by soft wares have entirely only changed the directions of mindsets, operational procedures and careers.

I, despite being a chartered accountant, found out within 3 years of professional career after I graduated from college that there was no survival for any company operating globally without profound knowledge and command over ERP systems implemented in-house and being insightful of their nature. It was 2006 when I, being the biggest proponent of Project Portfolio Management, proposed its procurement and implementation. On behalf of my company, I started my hunt for different soft wares trainings and IT certifications but to my surprise, I could find none in the near vicinity of mine. This was an era when only a handful of business tycoons of the world acknowledged its significance and there existed extreme monopoly in this emerging industry.

Presently, after about more than 10 long years, it is now that services are being rendered on vast scale in all walks of IT everywhere. But still quality, commitment, cost effectiveness and dedication are intrinsic part of only a few among them. Prescient Solutions Group Inc. keeps and maintains the honor to be one of those. Prescient Solutions Group is considered to be one of the best soft ware solution company and specializes in niche of Enterprise Project Portfolio Management (EPPM). It has got everything to offer that project manager might ever need or a multinational or transnational enterprise must be equipped with. A couple of years ago, our company started its operations after successful implementation of EPPM from Prescient Solutions Group Inc. In true sense, the company can now signify project management tools how inevitable they are in this era. Extensive market research of several numbers of companies led us to Prescient Solutions Group. Catering so well the major industries of the world, Prescient Solutions Group Inc. has created a real difference in Project Portfolio Management. Allocating budgets for PPM will never be an investment rather it will be saving for any company in longer run.

A Guide to Creating Effective Primavera P6 Schedule

Scheduling forms an integral part of project management. There can be hundreds or few thousand of activities which need to be scheduled. The scheduling without any predecessor or successor relationships can create multiple problems for the project manager. The interconnectedness decides the order in which all tasks can be executed to achieve desired results. Lack of relationships means no network which would have no critical paths to follow. Here is a look at some simple tips to avoid this dilemma.
Primavera P6 Schedule

Set Milestones
Milestones set you apart by standing out for anyone who is going through the layout. Make sure that all milestones are put under one Work Breakdown Structure element on top right of the project. All you need to do is to add one Work Breakdown structure which can be named Important Milestones. Now cut and paste every milestone set in the project under this WBS element to make things easier to manage.

Naming Cost Heads

The allocation of costs is a very important part not only for the accounting team but also for the management to understand flow of budget. Generic names for resources can only create confusion. The best way to name cost heads is to make them relatable. For example, cash paid or interest accrued is too general a name given to a cost head. On contrary, if you name it something on the lines of travel or daily wages paid, it will make things crystal clear for every stakeholder involved.

When to Be Vague?

Some of the projects started are very large and nothing can be said about their scope with certainty. This is the case where naming conventions should convey that sense of broader aspects of matters to accommodate the changes which would occur at later stages of the project. The use abbreviations should be intelligent yet balanced. If you choose too many abbreviations, it would make it different for the management to interpret various activities named. On the other hand, too few or generic names can also generalize or oversimplify matters.

Calendar Use

The use of calendars cannot be over emphasized. The best way to remain on schedule in Primavera P6 is to make use of as many calendars as possible. There are many benefits of using multiple calendars. The first major advantage is that different activities can have separated into sub-schedules or perhaps there may be different teams working on various parts of the project. Similarly, in some projects, each phase is not rigidly tied to another milestone or dependency in completion which means separate calendars of activities can be maintained.

Incrementing and Managing Activities

The default incrementing in Primavera P6 is done by 10. However, it is highly recommended that you increment activities by 1 instead. The creation of 1 increment helps you create a simple to understand numbering convention which would ensure no other activities are added at later stages to jumble things up. Unlike the older version, you will not have to renumber all activities should you feel the need to add one activity in between as Primavera P6 automatically increments the rest of the activities. And do not force yourself to set dates for every activity. Half of the activities should have constraints so you are able to understand flow of logic in dependencies without getting overburdened with too much data to understand.
