Scheduling software can be challenging to master for a variety of reasons. None come with the ideal settings out of the box, and Layouts, User Preferences, and default options must be tweaked to achieve optimal performance. Often, the Help files fail to connect the user to real-world scenarios and fail to explain the practical applications of functions. Furthermore, there are numerous flicks and switches with enigmatic names that are difficult to comprehend or determine their purpose or importance. These challenges make learning the software extremely difficult without a comprehensive guide written by an experienced user. Investing in a book authored by Paul E. Harris will address all these issues and enable you to set up the software correctly and comprehend all the obscure functions, allowing you to become more productive more quickly and enhance your career opportunities and salary with a solid understanding of the software. This book is an update of the author's Primavera P6 Version 8 to 20 book, and the workshops have been updated to start in the future. The book has been written to be used with any software industry version. The book is packed with screen shots, constructive tips, and contains workshops with solutions at the end of each chapter for the reader to practice the skills taught. It has been written to be used with either the Professional Project Management Client version or the Enterprise Project Portfolio Management Optional Client. The book is aimed at: 1. Individuals who wish to learn the software but are unable to attend a training course and find the software reference manual difficult to navigate. 2. Project management companies that wish to run their own software training courses or provide their employees with an alternative text to the vendor-supplied user manual. 3. Training organizations that wish to incorporate the book into their curriculum.
