Oracle Primavera P6: Project Setup and Basic Management

This first specialization course develops the structure of a P6 project. Planning concepts and navigation lead into creating a project, defining calendars, organizing a work breakdown structure and adding activities. It emphasizes the setup decisions on which a useful schedule depends rather than treating software entry as the whole planning process.

What you will learn

• Create a project and working calendars
• Organize activities under a WBS
• Review schedule setup and display choices

Who this suits

A suitable starting point for a planner or project professional new to P6, with basic project-management understanding helpful rather than a formal entry requirement.

Before you enroll

The provider lists beginner level and eight hours of work. P6 software and licensing are separate from Coursera enrollment. This is one taught part of a larger specialization; overlapping standalone Packt repackages are not counted again here. Completion is not an Oracle professional certification or evidence of project-control experience.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Create a fictional small project with a WBS and calendar. Explain the assumptions behind the activity breakdown before entering dates, and keep a record of changes for later schedule-review exercises.
