You must know one of these Project Planning tools – Primavera P6 or MS Project 2016 – to be able to manage projects with confidence.
Primavera P6 is recommended if you are managing projects in Power, Oil and Gas and Construction domains. Also, you should preferably have PMP Certification under your belt to have all-round knowledge of Project Management.
Lets try and map some of the Project scheduling skills that a Project Manager/Project Planner needs in managing projects:
- A Project Planner should understand fundamentals of Project Management besides having a good grip on Primavera P6.
- Project Manager himself creates a good Project Schedule or depends on the project planner to do so. Even if Project Planner creates the schedule, the project manager should be able to understand and read it well, otherwise he will be taken for a ride and project would easily go over-budget due to some specific reasons which can’t be explained detail here (Primavera P6).
- Primavera helps immensely with making a visual WBS.
- Primavera is rock solid in terms of stability and performance.
- Primavera even in basic module includes Risk Management which is not there in MS Project.
