P6 EPPM Portfolios

With Primavera P6 EPPM; project managers can be confident that their projects and programs are aligned with company strategic objectives. By providing a consistent overview and analysis of the portfolio or program as projects are added and removed, the Portfolio and Program Management module enables project managers to manage incoming demand and select just the right balance of projects – one that ensures resources are not overextended and that project performance can be easily quantified and communicated to project stakeholders.

Many organizations have hundreds, even thousands of projects underway at any given time. Crossing normal business hierarchies and chains of command, these projects present an organization-wide management challenge.

Primavera P6 EPPM helps business management meet that challenge head-on with a Planning and Scheduling module. Primavera P6 EPPM is ideal for organizations that need to simultaneously manage multiple projects and support multi-user access, since it provides multi-user, multi-project functionality (with the ability to extend functionality based on user-definable data). It also offers scheduling and resource control capabilities and support for multi-tiered project hierarchies, resource scheduling, data capture and customizable views.

P6 EPPM Resource Management

Supporting both top-down and bottom-up resource request and staffing processes, Primavera P6 EPPM makes it easy for project and resource managers to communicate their requirements and decisions throughout a project’s lifecycle. By providing a graphical analysis of resource and role utilization, Primavera P6 EPPM helps project teams manage resources in a dynamic environment. This allows managers to see where resources are being used across all programs and projects, as well as their forecasted future use. Because all information is located in one centralized system, resource conflicts become apparent to project and resource managers, eliminating unexpected delays or unforeseen resource limitations. The result: greater visibility into resource demand and capacity means maximized resource use.

P6 EPPM Team Member Web

Primavera P6 EPPM makes it easy for managers to track, capture, and analyze the time team members spend on project-based work by providing them with interfaces that are automatically populated with their own assignments across all projects. Team members can then record both project time (that is, time spent on each task) and non-project time (such as personal time off). They can also provide additional information directly to the project manager, including document updates, status notifications, and other pertinent feedback. P6 EPPM Team Member allows project participants to easily update tasks to reflect the work that has been accomplished.

Primavera P6 EPPM facilitates team-based collaboration to improve decision-making, streamline coordination and improve efficiency with new business process automation capabilities. For example, it incorporates collaboration and communication, through graphical workflow modeling and interactive configurable forms, into the typical work process instead of requiring project team members to put work aside to communicate and collaborate. The solution’s integration to email and mobile devices improves communication between project managers, schedulers and field personnel on a per activity basis, ensuring that project schedules stay on track and that delays are minimized. In addition, existing enterprise content management systems capabilities can be leveraged through Primavera P6 EPPM in order to meet the increasing demand of project documentation control and accessibility.

Primavera P6 EPPM allows you to schedule and deliver timely and relevant project information through email, content repository, file share and printer. Users can choose from over 70 standardized reports or produce custom reports in various formats including .pdf, .csv, and .xml, through its integrated reporting system.
