Adding P6 to your planning toolbelt

Whether you're just starting out or deep into your planning career, chances are you'll come face-to-face with Primavera P6 sooner or later. It’s become the industry standard across sectors, and knowing how to use it isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a career move. In this post, we look at why adding P6 to your toolkit opens doors, what makes it the go-to scheduling tool, and how our Training Academy helps you master it your way.

Over the years Primavera P6 has established itself as a real giant in the planning space, with many industries standardising on P6 plans (XER or XML) as the default format. As such, it has never been more critical as a planner or scheduler to ensure that you have P6 skills in your toolbelt!

As an Oracle Primavera Partner, we come across planners and schedulers as all stages in their career path. From those just starting out their journey to the experienced planners who have seen it all! – they all have one thing in common, at some stage in their career it is VERY likely they will encounter P6 projects and will need to know how to interact with them.

Starting your journey!

Kicking off your path to Primavera P6 excellence couldn’t be simpler with the HPS Training Academy. We offer our clients 3 unique ways to learn, whether you’re looking to be taught as part of an instructor led session or prefer to learn at your own pace using manuals and videos… we’ve got you covered!

Opening Doors!

As we mentioned at the start, many industries recognise the power of P6 projects and as such have standardised on the tool. By completing a HPS Training Academy course, you are awarded with your own Certificate of Completion to rubber-stamp your new skillset. By adding Primavera P6 to your “planning arsenal” you can differentiate yourself from other job applicants and open doors to new industries and companies.

We find planners and schedulers coming to us after years in the industry having now added P6 to their toolbelt saying things like:

The Benefits of P6 Training!

Amongst many benefits and reasons to add P6 to your toolbelt, there are a few points we often make to our attendees:

For new customers moving to the P6 environment, it is the number 1 planning and scheduling tool in the world.
In our experience, the majority of clients now are asking for plans in P6 format.
P6 gives you the flexibility to handle all sizes of projects but is a non-negotiable to effectively manage those large and complex projects.
No other software copes with calculating schedule dates/resource use/costs as well as P6.
We find clients never go back to using any other planning & scheduling software after using P6.
Primavera really is the ‘Rolls-Royce’ of planning software.
