This two-day course is specially designed for users moving from Primavera Project Planner (P3) to Primavera P6. Numerous charts list how P3 fields and functionality map to Primavera 5.0/6.0, enabling users to leverage their existing knowledge of P3 and rapidly adapt to new features in P6. The course begins with navigation, menus, and terminology in P6, and introduces new ways to view layouts and run reports. The course also details how basic tasks in the project management life cycle are executed in P6–including how to create activities, assign and analyze resources, and update the project plan. An appendix at the back of the training manual covers how to convert projects from P3 to P6. (Please note that this course is designed for users of P3 who are transitioning to P6. Those who wish to learn Primavera P6, but who are not P3 users, should register for 102 instead.)
