All scheduling software is difficult to learn for a number of
reasons. None have the optimal settings when installed and Layouts,
User Preferences and default options need to be adjusted to obtain
the best possible performance. Usually the Help files do not
connect the user to real life situations and do not explain the
practical use of functions. Furthermore, there are many flicks and
switches with obscure names that are difficult to understand or
decide what they do or which are important. These issues make
learning the software very difficult without a comprehensive guide
written by an experienced user. Investing in a book written by Paul
E Harris will address all these issues and allow you to setup the
software properly and understand all the obscure functions letting
you become productive more quickly and enhance your career
opportunities and salary with a solid understanding of the
software. This book is an update of the author's Primavera P6
Version 8 to 19 book and contains a new section on Visualizer. The
workshops have been updated so they start in the future. The book
has been written so it may be used with any software industry
version. The book is packed with screen shots, constructive tips
and contains workshops with solutions at the end of each chapter
for the reader to practice the skills taught. It has been written
so it may be used with either the Professional Project Management
Client version or the Enterprise Project Portfolio Management
Optional Client. The book is aimed at: 1. People who wish learn the
software but are unable to attend a training course and find the
software reference manual hard going. 2. Project management
companies who wish to run their own software training courses or
provide their employees with an alternative text to the vendor
supplied user manual. 3. Training organizations requiring a
training manual to run their own training courses. The book is
designed to teach planners and schedulers in any industry how to
setup and use the software in a project environment. It explains in
plain English and in a logical sequence, the steps required to
create and maintain an unresourced and resourced schedule. It
tackles some of the more complex aspects of the software that the

information and the methods that should be employed to produce a

how on how the many software options may be applied to projects
