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.

Hi Planners,

Im relatively inexperienced in Planning (about 2 years), im currently working in the Pharmaceutical industry for a major client. Ive recently been asked to look into the following:

Engineering Cost Control
Earn Value
Risk Analysis

For the last couple of years ive simply been producing schedules in P3. Can any of you guys help me out with documents or slide shows on the benifits of any of the above?

Do you know of any software that can help out?

Help would be very much appreciated.

Cheers
Steve

Try also P3 for papers on Earned Value IRM - as a starting point for Risk Management
