Project Management
Application of knowledge , skills , tools & techniques to project activities in order to meet stakeholder needs & expectations from a project.
Needs stated part of the project
Expectations unstated part of the project

Resource Analysis
Men, Material, Machinery & facilities Identifying over allocated resources
Analyzing resource over allocation, work done in hourly basis, resolving over allocation by leveling resources, exercising better control over distribution of resources.
Cost Estimation
Estimation of total project cost prior to execution of the project.
Including various cost factors Fixed cost, baseline cost, actual cost etc.,
Determining variance in budget and cost controlling
Tracking Project Progress
Editing the schedule based on project progress Earned value analysis
BCWP,ACWP,BCWS
Determining variances from the baseline plan ie., schedule, cost variances
Analyzing Project performance
Monitoring & Report Generation
To capture, analyze and report project performance, usually as compared to plan.
Both tabular as well as graphical reports is used to monitor the project performance.
Multiple Project Support
Managing several project simultaneously by combining all project files into one consolidated project file.
Establishing cross project links External predecessor/successor relationship.
Communication
Exchange project information at web site Microsoft Project Central
E-mail the project information Workgroup Features
Collaborative planning of project team

Primavera P6.0
Introduction to Primavera 6.0
Project Planning Management Tool Developed by Primavera System Inc. in 1983 Primavera Project Planner (P3) is the 1st
software released by Primavera.
The versions are P3.0, P3.e, P4.0, P5.0, P6.0 The latest version is P6.1 The modules are

Advantages
Central database, Primavera v6.0 enables managers to access project data anywhere, at any time.
This single database design increases efficiency, consistency and repeatability, saving organizations time and money.
What's new in Primavera 6.0? OBS – Organizational Breakdown Structure EPS – Enterprise Project Structure Undo option Unlimited Baselines Edit Activity ID Multiple rates for roles and resources New user preferences to better control the
hours per day, week, month and year
Organizational Breakdown Structure
Organizational Breakdown Structure:
OBS represents the management responsible for the projects in a hierarchy.
Structure of your organization ,from top-level personnel down through the various levels.
OBS and Project Manager
OBS is set up with a Project Manager at the project level to oversee and coordinate the entire project.
Constraints of OBS:
Maximum of 25 levels can be created Maximum character length for an OBS element
is 100.
Enterprise Project Structure
Shibu lijack
EPS is a hierarchical structure that identifies the company- wide projects and enables organizing and management of those projects by means of subdivisions of levels.
EPS can be used for:
Perform top-down budgeting and resource and cost-analysis.
Organize work breakdown and organizational breakdown structure into one common structure.
Manage multiple projects. Implementing coding standards for flexible
reporting. Maintain appropriate security throughout the
enterprise.
Calendars
Calendars can be assigned to each project, resource and each activity.
Defines the available work hours in each calendar day.
Calendar assignments are used for activity scheduling ,tracking and resource leveling.
Three Calendar pools:
Global :contains calendars that apply to all projects.
Resource :separate pool of calendars for each resource.
Project : separate pool of calendars for each resource.
WBS-Work Breakdown Structure
WBS represents a hierarchical breakdown of a project into elements.
Features of WBS: Hierarchical structure to which activities are
attached. A maximum of 50 levels are available.
Steps for using WBS facility:
Define the WBS structure. Build the WBS code dictionary Assigned the WBS codes to the activities.
Different type of views of WBS
Tabular or column view
Graphical or chart view
Activities
Activities are the fundamental work elements of a project. They are the lowest level of a Work Breakdown Structure.

Activity type:
Task Dependent Resource Dependent Level of Effort Start Milestone Finish Milestone WBS Summary
Scheduling
Identifying tasks Estimate task duration Establish relationship between task Identifying critical tasks Revising schedules when needed Analyzing scheduling flexibility with slack values
Shibu lijack
Constraints
Constraints are used to impose restriction on activities that cannot be realistically scheduled with logical links
Two types of constraints are: Primary Constraints Secondary Constraints

Work Products and Documents:
This feature enables to track all project relayed documents .Including:
Guidelines Procedures Standards Design Templates worksheets
Benefits of using WP’s and Documents
Actual document files can be stored on a: Network file server Configuration management system Web site

Currencies
This module helps in finding out the cost of project in various other currencies based on the exchange rate
Shibu lijack
Roles
These are project personnel job titles or skills. Represent a group of resources with a certain
level of proficiency. Can be assigned to specific resources to further
identify the skills of the resource.
Resource Management
Define resources Assign resources to tasks Analyze resource distribution Trace over allocated resource and idle
resources Level resources
Status updating
Tracking progress Update actual duration. Update actual % complete. Update actual resource & cost.
Comparing baseline with actual performance Analyze schedule and cost variances Controlling project by corrective actions
Report Generation
Tabular Reports
Graphical Reports in terms of Units & Cost S-Curve Histogram
