Who Should Read Understanding Dashboards in Primavera P6?
We think anyone who is interested in implementing Primavera P6 EPPM should take a look at this Ebook. Charles does discuss using Primavera P6 dashboards requires organizational maturity, specifically pointing out that dashboards require underlying data to support them.
Mature data is the key, in other words, an EPS full of Named Resource Loaded schedules; Activity / Project Owners assigned; with clear and descriptive Project / Activity names; coded; well thought out EPS & OBS; Stored Financial Periods, a large P6 user base, etc. Once your organization has these aspects in place, designing and using dashboards becomes easy.
