Product Description

INTRODUCTION These books have been written to enable new users to learn the planning and scheduling functions of Primavera Enterprise in a single project environment.

Many users will have prior experience of SureTrak, P3 or Microsoft Project and I have explained the where there are difference in the products functionality.

SUMMARY
The book was written so it may be used as

A training manual for a two-day training course, or
A self teach book, or
A reference manual.

The book has been written to be used as the basis for a two-day training course and includes exercises for the students to complete at the end of each chapter. After the course book may then be used by the students as a reference book.

This publication is ideal for people who would like to quickly gain an understanding of how the software operates and explains how the software differs from Primavera P3, SureTrak and Microsoft Project, thus making it ideal for people who wish to convert from these products.

The book may also be used as a reference manual, but with the understanding that it mainly covers the planning and scheduling aspects of the product and does not include the following topics:

Project Manager SAM
Budgets, including
Budget Summary
Budget Log
Funding
Spending Plan
Work Products and Documents
Thresholds
Issues
Risks and Risk Calculation
Resources Shifts

Editorial Reviews

From the Author
As a project controls consultant I have used a number of planning and scheduling software packages for the management of a range of project types and sizes. The first books I published were user guides/training manuals for Primavera SureTrak, P3 and Microsoft Project users. These were well received by professional project managers and schedulers, so I decided to turn my attention to Primavera Enterprise. This book follows the same proven layout of my previous books. I trust this book will assist you in understanding how to use Primavera Enterprise on your projects.

Project Planning & Scheduling Using P3e/c by Paul E. Harris
I have had classroom Primavara clases back in the 90's when it was DOS-based, and refresher classes in 2006 The presentation by Mr. Harris in his book is very good. Classroom depends on the instructor teaching as much as he/she can in the two and three day courses, with the class book being just a guide. The speed of the class depends on those attending. Some learn faster, some slower. Using Mr. Harris' book you can learn at your own pace. I recommend you do both. There is no substitue for having an instructor to ask questions. Read Mr. Harris' book then sign up with a class in your location. The classroom study plus this book should give you a good understanding of Primavera Enterprise. Keep the book handy for quick reference. If you don't use P3e regularily, you forget things and this book provides refresher information
