Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Pls list out the drawbacks of Primavera. ( eg resource assignment can be done automatically depend on the resource availability)

I expected that people will respond to this very interesting question and discuss the way P6 can be improved.

Does weak response mean that everybody is happy with P6 capabilities?

Or it means that most people use P6 for drawing Gantt Charts and do not know about P6 project modeling drawbacks?

My top Four:

It does not have what Spider calls (I think) "Volume" per cent complete

WBS is project specific not Global

Top down planning cannot "nudge" the spending plan

No Cost window (like Resource Assignments but with the expenses)
