Learning Objectives

  • To know the project management concepts in context of the PMBOK Guide® - 5th Edition (A Guide to Project Management Body of Knowledge).
  • To know the entire project life cycle from planning to execution.
  • To understand the step by step procedure of Project Planning & Scheduling.

Approach or Philosophy

The course is designed in alignment with global standards of Project Management Institute (PMI): A Guide to Project Management Body of Knowledge (the PMBOK Guide® - 5th Edition) and Practice Standard for Work Breakdown Structure – 2nd Edition.

The major problem we face while trying to learn Oracle® Primavera P6 is unavailability of a detailed guide. We have produced most detailed guide of Oracle® Primavera P6  with case scenarios based on practical implementation of some national and international projects inside the project environment (including SMEDA, KARCON, DESCON etc). These projects covers both engineering and management projects. Depending on the learning capacity and specialization of the participants, a project will be selected and every phase will be implemented practically inside the software.

We are in the process to publish this detailed form of Oracle® Primavera P6 guide with PMI®, for the sake of better understanding and practical implementation, a copy of tests from the guide will be given to participants in the class as assessment tests.
