Audit baselines, critical paths, float, logic, updates, slippage, and contractor schedules in Primavera P6.
What you'll learn
Audit Primavera P6 schedules for logic, lags, constraints, calendars, durations, open ends, actuals, OOS progress, and float. Validate critical, longest, and near-critical paths and determine what actually drives project milestones and completion. Review preliminary, detailed, and cost/resource-loaded baselines for completeness, credibility, and schedule integrity. Compare schedule updates to identify slippage, float burn, duration changes, logic changes, and critical-path migration. Prepare professional schedule review comments that clearly state the finding, impact, evidence, and required corrective action. Use schedule-review checklists, slippage registers, milestone trackers, and comparison templates on real construction projects. Evaluate contractor schedule submissions from an owner, consultant, or project-controls perspective. Translate Primavera P6 findings into concise management narratives and actionable project-control recommendations.Requirements
Basic understanding of construction scheduling or CPM concepts is recommended. Some familiarity with Primavera P6 is helpful, but advanced P6 expertise is not required. Primavera P6 access is recommended if you want to follow the practical schedule-review demonstrations. Experience in construction, project controls, planning, engineering, or project management will be helpful.Description
Learn how to professionally review, audit, and analyze Primavera P6 CPM schedules rather than simply operate the software.
This course was developed with the support of selected AI-assisted tools for course organization, visuals, and learning materials, with all technical scheduling content reviewed and validated by the instructor.
This course is designed for schedulers, planning engineers, project controls professionals, consultants, contractors, owners, and project managers who need to determine whether a project schedule is logical, credible, and capable of supporting management decisions.
Throughout the course, you will learn a structured schedule-review methodology that can be applied to building construction, infrastructure, heavy civil, industrial, mission-critical, and other capital projects.
You will learn how to review preliminary, detailed, and cost/resource-loaded baseline schedules before moving into the monthly update cycle. You will also learn how to evaluate schedule health, including open ends, relationship types, excessive lags, constraints, calendars, activity durations, out-of-sequence progress, actual dates, Expected Finish, and float anomalies.
The course goes beyond simply identifying “red activities.” You will learn how to validate the Longest Path, analyze total float and near-critical paths, identify critical-path migration, and determine what is actually driving contractual milestones and project completion.
You will also learn how to compare schedule updates, identify activity and logic changes, quantify milestone slippage and float burn, and document findings using professional review tools such as a Schedule Review Checklist, Slippage Register, Milestone Trend Register, Float Tracker, Critical Path Register, and contractor comment sheet.
A major focus of the course is turning technical schedule findings into clear professional communication. You will learn how to write contractor comments that identify the condition, explain the schedule impact, reference supporting evidence, and state the required corrective action.
The course includes practical examples, Primavera P6 demonstrations, downloadable templates, and a schedule-review case study that brings the complete review process together.
By the end of the course, you will be able to approach a Primavera P6 submission with the mindset of a professional schedule reviewer and answer the most important question
Who this course is for
Planning engineers and project schedulers who want to move beyond P6 operation into professional schedule review. Project controls professionals responsible for reviewing contractor baselines and monthly schedule updates. Owner and consultant schedulers who review schedule quality, critical paths, slippage, and contract compliance. Construction managers, project managers, and engineers who need to understand whether a project forecast is credible. Intermediate P6 users who want to develop senior-level schedule analysis and review skills. Schedulers preparing for more advanced project-controls, claims, delay-analysis, or schedule-assurance roles.Download:
