| Cross-project Analysis and Reporting |
Quickly and easily create cross-project dependencies and see how projects impact one another. Built-in analysis shows whether resources are over- or under-allocated across projects. |
| CPM Scheduling |
P6 provides Critical Path Method (CPM) Scheduling, which uses the activity durations, relationships between activities and calendars to calculate a schedule for the project. CPM identifies the critical path of activities, those activities that affect the completion date for the project or an intermediate deadline, and if delayed will delay the finish of the project. |
| Float Path Analysis |
Float Path Analysis identifies all critical paths within a project to help avoid potential delays before they occur and to help visualize an activity's importance to overall project plan. |
| Master Program Integration |
Multiple companies can collaborate and work together on execution of a project or program. |
| Cross-Project Dependencies |
Cross-project dependencies helps to monitor overall critical path of the program and reduces the risk of multiple parties working together. |
| Reflection Process |
The Reflection Process compares the status updates received from various sources to identify potential issues or delays that will impact the overall program. |
| Resource Assignments |
When project resources needs have been determined, they can easily be assigned to the schedule activities. P6 tracks labor, material, equipment and expense needs for activities and WBS nodes. |
| Resource Leveling |
Resource leveling helps ensure that sufficient resources are available to perform the activities in the project plan.
