PLANNING AND CONTROL USING ORACLE PRIMAVERA P6

This publication is an upgrade of the Project Planning & Control Using Primavera P6 Version 7 and has been written to enable new users to learn the planning and scheduling functions of Primavera Version 8.1 to 15.1. Please note there are no versions 9 to 14 and Oracle changed their naming convention with the release of 15.1 so the name is the same as the year of the release. Due to the changes in the menus in this release, it is not possible to make the book backward compatible to earlier versions of the software. Many users will have prior experience with SureTrak, P3, Asta Powerproject or Microsoft Project and the author explains where there are differences in the products’ functionality. The author would appreciate any constructive comments on how this publication .may be improved
