Helo,

I went for Primavera basic course a year ago.

In the course, we are taught to create a resource orientated schedule (resource constraint).

Is that the standard style of resource loading in P6 as it can utilize all resource management function in P6?

The method I am using is more of a unlimited resource schedule. therefore i can’tuse function like resource levelling. If resource is too high, i will do manual levelling.

is that how P6 user use it?

Regards
Lucas

    Lucas,

    Logically, it is not a normal practice but it was the most popular and basic practice that currently happening or what ever suit to project requirement and planners capability.
    Resource oriented schedule is more reliable and efficient way of tracking a project especially for the used of EVM. It can trigger the lack of resource, over budget, pushed the schedule, what if analysis and many others. If you asked if that is the STANDARD PRACTICE then many including me will say no.

    Thank You,

    I think likewise, however in a leagal environment or for submission of resource to client, are there any regulation that it must be done in a resource constraint manner ?

    It depends on your contractual obligation against the contract. Normally it is used on what if analysis, trying to catch up delays, leveling of resource and many others but it’s very rear that the client will obligate the contractor to submit resource oriented schedule unless otherwise it was specified on the PAA or Contract.
