Primavera Project Planner

Thousands of serious project managers
use Primavera Project Planner (P3) every
day. It gives them the control they need to
accomplish their projects on time, within
budget, and at a high level of technical quality.   

Planning the project means thinking about and documenting what needs to be done—defining and coordinating specific activities and work tasks, preparing work schedules, assigning and allocating resources to competing activities, and developing an acceptable budget.

Controlling the project means staying on course—measuring performance, suggesting corrective action when needed, evaluating options, and devising workarounds. You inform the team about progress and advise them where their performance needs improvement. Then they make the improvements.

Managing means communicating as accurately as possible with the project team, the client, and your own management about what has happened, what may happen, what you will do about it, and what cannot be changed. You motivate the team to do its best. You help the team get support—resources—by presenting accurate and timely information to the right people.
