Program Overview: What is Primavera P6?
Primavera P6 is Edstellar's instructor-led technical program for planners, schedulers, and project controls teams. Participants master the P6 workspace, project structures and calendars, activities and relationships, resources and cost loading, and baselines and progress tracking. The program builds scheduling competence from setup to control.
Training is tool-based throughout. Learners build project structures, link activities, load resources, and update progress in guided P6 labs on realistic project data, rebuilding the schedule until the logic holds under scrutiny. Instructors coach the team through scheduling logic and baseline discipline, reviewing every schedule with practical feedback on controls quality. The program closes with a capstone: a full project build and controls lab.
Schedules built without discipline lie: unrealistic dates, hidden float, and progress updates that hide slippage. This program teaches your planners to build schedules that tell the truth and track progress honestly. The result is control over the plan, not hope.
The capstone schedule is the deliverable: a fully built project with logic, resources, costs, baselines, and progress updates that would survive a controls review. Your planners return ready to build the next real schedule the same way.
The program blends instructor-led sessions with guided hands-on labs in P6 using realistic project datasets. Every participant builds schedules from scratch and closes with a complete capstone: a full project build from tender package to controls report set.

Key Skills and Outcomes Your Team Will Gain
Technical P6 abilities your team builds and demonstrates in the labs, not just hears about.
P6 project setup and configuration
Set up enterprise project structures, calendars, and security profiles so teams start every project on a clean foundation.
Schedule building and logic
Build activity networks with correct relationships and constraints, producing reliable critical path schedules.
Resource and cost management
Assign resources, level overallocations, and load costs so the schedule reflects real budgets and capacity.
Baseline and progress control
Create baselines, apply statusing cycles, and explain schedule and cost variance with confidence.
P6 reporting and dashboards
Design layouts, reports, and dashboards that give stakeholders clear, honest project status.
