Primavera P6 & PMBOK in Practice: A Step-by-Step Guide to Implementing PMBOK's Best Practices (Schedule, Cost, Risk, EVM and More) in Primavera P6 - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Two disciplines. One project. Finally explained together.

The PMBOK® Guide tells you what good project management looks like. Primavera P6 is the tool millions of schedulers, project controls professionals, and PMOs actually use to do it. Almost nothing teaches the two side by side — until now.

Primavera P6 for Project Managers walks through every major PMBOK knowledge area and shows you, click by click, exactly how to build it inside P6 Professional: from your first WBS and schedule baseline to a fully resource-loaded budget, earned value tracking, risk registers, and a disciplined change-control process.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

• Set up the enterprise foundation — EPS, OBS, calendars, and codes — the right way from day one
• Build a defensible WBS and lock in a true scope baseline
• Sequence activities, find your critical path, and save a schedule baseline you can trust
• Load resources, spot over-allocation, and level a schedule without blowing the finish date
• Build a cost baseline and calculate CPI, SPI, and EAC with real earned value management
• Track risk, quality gates, procurement, and stakeholder accountability inside the same schedule
• Status a project honestly, manage variance, and run a clean, auditable closeout

Each of the 18 chapters follows the same practical pattern: the underlying concept explained in plain English, a numbered step-by-step P6 procedure, an original diagram, and a practitioner's tip drawn from real project controls experience. Two appendices give you a quick-reference PMBOK-to-P6 feature map and a handy list of menu paths and shortcuts.

Whether you're a PMP®-credentialed project manager who needs to actually run P6, or a Primavera scheduler who wants to understand the "why" behind the discipline, this book is the missing bridge between the standard and the software.
