Activity Configuration
- Identify activity types including task dependent, resource dependent, level of effort, start milestone, and finish milestone.
- Configure activities with duration types (fixed duration, fixed units, fixed units/time), percent complete types, and calendars.
- Implement activity codes with global and project-level definitions for filtering, grouping, and reporting across projects.
- Evaluate activity modeling approaches to select appropriate types and duration methods for different work patterns.
3
Scheduling
2 topics
Relationships and Constraints
- Describe relationship types including finish-to-start, start-to-start, finish-to-finish, and start-to-finish with lag values.
- Configure relationship logic with positive and negative lag, driving relationship indicators, and circular logic detection.
- Implement activity constraints including as-soon-as-possible, mandatory start, mandatory finish, and expected finish dates.
- Configure external relationships linking activities across projects for inter-project dependency management.
- Analyze schedule logic to identify open ends, redundant relationships, and constraint conflicts affecting CPM calculation.
CPM Scheduling
- Describe Critical Path Method components including forward pass, backward pass, total float, and free float calculation.
- Configure scheduling options including retained logic, progress override, and lag calculation settings affecting CPM results.
- Implement schedule analysis with critical path identification, near-critical activities, and longest path determination.
- Evaluate schedule quality to identify schedule health issues using metrics including BEI, CPLI, and logic density.
4
Calendars and Dates
2 topics
Calendar Configuration
- Identify calendar types including global, resource, and project calendars and their assignment hierarchy.
- Configure calendars with workdays, holidays, exception periods, and shift patterns for accurate duration calculation.
- Implement calendar assignment to activities, resources, and projects with inheritance and override behavior.
- Analyze calendar impact on scheduling to identify date calculation discrepancies caused by calendar misalignment.
Date Management
- Describe date types including planned, actual, early, late, expected finish, and constraint dates in P6.
- Configure project must-finish-by dates, activity constraints, and data date management for schedule updates.
- Implement schedule comparison with target, baseline, and current schedule date variance tracking and visualization.
- Evaluate date management practices to design update procedures maintaining schedule integrity across reporting periods.
5
Resources and Costs
2 topics
Resource Management
- Identify resource types including labor, nonlabor, and material resources with associated rate and unit definitions.
- Configure resource pools with calendar assignments, rate tables, availability limits, and skill set classifications.
- Implement resource assignments with budgeted and remaining units, cost accounts, and role-based generic resource allocation.
- Analyze resource demand to identify over-allocation, availability conflicts, and resource leveling requirements.
Cost Management
- Describe P6 cost components including budgeted, actual, and remaining costs with expense categories and cost accounts.
- Configure cost accounts with hierarchical structures for project, WBS, and activity-level cost tracking and rollup.
- Implement expense categories for non-resource costs including materials, equipment, and subcontractor charges.
- Evaluate cost management approaches to design tracking structures supporting earned value and variance analysis.
6
Baselines and Progress
2 topics
Baseline Management
- Describe baseline types including project baselines, user baselines, and initial/current baseline designations.
- Configure baseline capture procedures with scope definition, copy options, and baseline assignment to projects.
- Implement baseline comparison views with Gantt chart overlays, variance columns, and schedule deviation tracking.
- Analyze baseline variance patterns to identify scope changes, schedule slippage, and cost overrun trends.
Progress Tracking
