Diffrence P6 Vs P3
Hi all,
Can you tell me in brief explanation, what is a difference between P6 and P3, or what is new in P6 against P3.
Thanks a lot
Abdou.
Please send to me the matrix of different P6 and P3?
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olfactory_memory
There is also evidence suggesting that there are deficits in olfactory memory in individuals with brain degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Dementia.
seriously..dude yeah p6 sucks if u dont know it..
P6 sucks !
A huge difference might be customer support and quality of the products.
P3 was supported by Primavera a different Company, then the name and the products were acquired by ORACLE. P6 was originally developed by a third company.
P3 was a very stable software and had very few bugs, but by what I have observed here it seems P6 experience is quite different.
For a report on ORACLE customer satisfaction follow the link, then you will be informed and no surprises will be blamed on you if you recommend P6, always make an informed recommendations.

I maintain schedules for multiple projects and multiple clients. I could not do this in P3.
Kind regards,
Ellyn Gilbride
However by the time we get to start using P6, Primavera would come out with P7,8,9,10......
I think Primavera is a very powerful software and sensible planners will make the best use of it whatever the version.

Arjun Thomas.
happy to see that you made the switch, and sorry if my writing sounded negative, it was not my aim.
happy planning
If you would like to see a well-written detailed outline of whats new in P6, you might pick up a copy of Project Planning & Control Using Primavera P6, by Paul E. Harris. He details new features from P3 to P5 to P6. There are many capabilities not found in P3, and I, for one, find them important and useful. I cannot imagine going back to P3.
And as for MS Project, well what can I say? Its not even in the same league as P6. And anyway, how can you have have a useful schedule without a data date?
Take care,
Ellyn

Happy Planning and Scheduling
Looks like the difference on P6 vs P3 will go on forever.
Thats a good thing.
However, does P3 have anything better than P6 as well as MS Project?
I think P3 is still the most popular and quite a powerful software with planners due to its simplicity to intall and use. MS Project is also very popular. P6 is yet to catch on. Why?
Thanks and Best Regards,

Thanks a lot.
I downloaded a long matrix from Primavera that outlines the differences and improvements in P6 over P3. If you send me your email, I will be happy to forward the document.
And P6 is ever so much better - easier to use and more powerful.

P6 interface is user friendly and very much pratical to use. P6 is a multi project multi user software with outstanding security capabilities, ie you can assign whaty each user can view and edit. P6 uses database, projects share common resources, calendars, codes etc...In P6 you can add a hierarchy for your projects and open, edit and analyze one, two, or even all your projects at the same time. You can add a hierarchy for your organization and assign responsibilities to projects, WBSs and activities. A lot of features exist in P6 like "claim digger" which compares two plans and delivers a very useful report. A lot of attributes are introduced to P6 like "physical percent complete" which measures completion according to ones perspective and has no effect on actual qtys...what else...in summary, p6 is completely different and i highly recommend it.
these are entirely different peices of software: P3 is a standalone application for a standalone planner, while P6 is a role based project management application
that means that P3 is great at scheduling public works or engineering, oil and gas, ... projects, where the resources are site workers and therefore will not key in any personal data as actual hours, ... into the project file
and P6 is what you need when the resources need to enter their actual hours in electronic timesheets for the planner to automatically update his schedule
P3 was designed to run under MS Windows 3.1 and is still working under Windows Vista! the user interface is quite old looking, but the software is really robust
P6 is much more 21st century looking, with plenty of windows and different screens.
In Algeria, P3 is much more used that P6; I know that Sonatrach is willing to upgrade, but this is a big project.
I am giving training of both P3 and P6 (and P5 too!) in Algeria, and currently planning a large project in Arzew.
bqa 3la kheir,
Alexandre
