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.

Good News for planners.

Sometime back I have mentioned about having Oil and Gas Offshore Structures Planning Course/Training. All the arrangement has been made to conduct such kind of training by end July, 2010.

Remember: This course is only applicable for junior planner in oil and gas Industry (2-5 years) and those interested to know Oil and Gas Industry. The people who are already in Oil and Gas industry many years...not worth to take this course.

Those who are interested, please contact: Meena+60162150635
or email me at : snagandran@hotmail.com

I am in the process of waiting for Primavera Systems to give me permission to publish my Primavera Enterprise Version 3.5 books. Once I receive their approval the book will be available within a week.

I have finished the P3e & P3e/c Version and I am creating a TeamPlay Version.

The books focus on planning and scheduling a single project in an established Primavera Enterprise environment and is written so they may be used as:
- A training manual for a two-day training course, or
- A self teach book, or
- A reference manual.

You will find a table of contents and some sample chapters that you may download plus the usual Authors write up on how good the book is.

To assist experienced schedulers to become productive quickly, they explain the differences between Primavera Enterprise and the other scheduling software that I am familiar with and written books on, e.g. P3, SureTrak and Microsoft Project. It does not cover the Enterprise features in detail, just enough to create a schedule and start working on scheduling a project. I do not cover the non scheduling functions like Risks and Documents, this amy appear in later versions.

There is also a book title Construction Scheduling with Primavera Enterprise by David A. Marchman available on Amazon.com. It appears from the text that it is written on version 2 but you may need to check this.

I remember Primavera had released a book on this issue. I’m not sure PDF version is on CD or not.
