It is a multiuser, multi-project system with scheduling and resource control capabilities supporting multi-tiered project hierarchies, resource scheduling with a focus on roles and skills, recording of actual data, customizable views, and user-definable data
It is ideal for organizations that need to simultaneously manage multiple projects and support multiuser access across a department or the entire organization. It supports an enterprise project structure (EPS) with an unlimited number of projects, activities, baselines, resources, work breakdown structures (WBS), organizational breakdown structures (OBS), user-defined codes, and critical-path-method (CPM) scheduling and resource leveling.
In addition, the module provides integrated risk management, issue tracking, and management by threshold. The tracking feature enables users to perform dynamic cross-project rollups of cost, schedule, and earned value. Project work products and documents can be assigned to activities and managed centrally. The Report Wizard creates customized reports that extract specific data from its database.
METHODOLOGY MANAGEMENT (MM)
The Methodology Management module is a system for authoring and storing methodologies, or project plan templates, in a central location. Project managers can select, combine, and tailor methodologies to create custom project plans. These customized methodologies can be imported into the Project Management module using the Project Architect wizard and used as templates for new projects. In this way, your organization can continually improve and refine methodology activities, estimates, and other information with each new project.
TIME SHEETS (TS)
Primavera also provides a Web-based inter-project communication and timekeeping system. As a team-level tool for project participants, Timesheets helps team members focus on the work at hand with a simple cross-project to-do list of their upcoming assignments. It also provides views of project changes and timecards for manager approval. Because team members use this module to enter up-to-the-minute information about their assignments and record time against their workloads, project leaders can make crucial project decisions with the confidence that they have the most current information possible
PROJECT PHASES AND THE PROJECT LIFE CYCLE
Because projects are unique undertakings, they involve a degree of uncertainty. Organizations performing projects will usually divide each project into several project phases to provide better management control and appropriate links to the ongoing operations of the performing organization. Collectively, the project phases are known as the project life cycle.
