Primavera
P6 PPM Bars formatting presentation. The P6 bar
defaults may be misleading. For example the Baseline
bars and the Negative Float bar have the same colour
and are on the same line, the Level of Effort bars are
not displayed and completed activities show Total Float.
This presentation outlines changes to the Primavera
default bar formatting that should be considered and
as a result your schedule should be clearer.

P6 Layout then you may wish to click here and download
the primavera .com.au layout by clicking here>>>

have been sorted out and minor changes have been made
to the Page Setup so the header displays project information
such as dates, project name and page numbers are seen
on every page and the footer only contains information
required on the first page such as the Gant Chart ledgend
and Revision Box. |
