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.

Phil R,

Unfortunately those great whitepapers you wrote are not available on www.primavera.com.

The link for the Pertmaster information that is available
http://www.primavera.com/products/pertmaster/lit.asp

I would also recommend the case studies
http://www.primavera.com/products/pertmaster/stories.asp

Let me investigate if there is some way we can make these resources available on the Yahoo! user group. My understanding is that Planning Planet does not have a file store, correct?

Sorry, PhilS

You can (maybe) see some white papers on the application of pertmaster at www.primavera.com - look for pertmaster. There are also a few I have written at www.eurolog.co.uk.
Good reading.
Phil

I would agree with the previous response. Download a copy of Pertmaster from their web site. It lets you use the software with a restriction on number of activities and some functionality. This will give you a good idea of what the software is capable of doing - it is prety powerful.
In the UK Pertmaster run demonstrations of their software around the country - free of charge. I presume this happens elsewhere as well. Just look at their website for details.
Hope this helps.

I think the best way is to download it. Pertmaster’s manual comes with that download. Of course you will just get an evaluation version with limited capacity, but with some interesting samples.
