About 99 Tricks And Traps For Oracle Primavera P6 PPM
Product Description This book quickly gets down to the issues that many people grapple with when trying to use some of the more advanced features of the software and enlightens readers on the traps that some users fall into and how to avoid them. It demonstrates how the software ticks and explains some tricks that may be used to become more productive with the software. Suitable for people who understand the basics of P6 but want a short guide to give them insight into the less intuitive features of the software. It is packed with screen shots, constructive tips and is written in plain English. The book is based on the P6 Version 18 but may be used with earlier versions of P6 as this book points out the differences where appropriate. The book picks out many of the key aspects from the author's exiting books and adds a substantial amount of new and original text to produce a pocket guide that omits describing the intuitive and obvious functions and concentrates on the issues that many users get stuck on or find hard to understand. Review If you have been involved in Project Controls and use Oracle's Primavera P6 project management software you will know who Paul Harris is. Paul has been publishing pragmatic project management software manuals for as long as I can remember. All too often when buying a manual for using software it becomes apparent that the author only has theoretical knowledge. This is not the case with Paul's books. Paul has a deep experience gained over 40 years and has he the ability to distil this knowledge into an easy to read and understand guide for using this sometimes tricky software. Building on Paul's previous Oracle Primavera P6 manuals he has now published a condensed version that also has included some additional useful tips. Paul's new book "99 Tricks and Traps for Oracle Primavera P6 PPM Professional" is a useful addition to any experienced planner's project controls library and also a handy reference guide for a new users in order to avoid some of the more dangerous pitfalls that can be hidden within P6. Michael Jack, Independent Project Controls Expert, Nietzsche Pty Ltd Project scheduling in software is a complex undertaking and the seemingly "user friendly" environment presented by Oracle Primavera P6 can sometimes lull a user into a false sense of security. In this" 99 Tricks and Traps" book Paul has cast a spotlight on the potential pitfalls in the software that can trap the unwary. He explains the P6 environment and terminology with great clarity and makes vital recommendations about the optimum settings for the program. The book is well presented, with plenty of diagrams and screenshots, and should be considered an essential component of any professional P6 scheduler's library. Thomas A Grant MSc, BSc.
