It is interesting to discuss what PM software cost and schedule simulation features required for creating good project plans are absent in different PM software. Maybe we just don’t know where to find them?
In recent discussion on Integration of Cost & Schedule
I wrote that:
Using Primavera it is impossible
- to simulate that resource is paid for the quantities that had been done, not for hours that were spent,
- to assign resource hour cost that consists of the salary, indirect costs, taxes and other components,
- to simulate project financing and to use cost constraints in project scheduling,
- to use parallel cost estimates (internal cost components, contract cost components, ...), etc.
In his response Dieter Wambach wrote:
Your answer on the P6 features is simply not correct. We use them.
I want to learn how to enter Resource Assignment Cost (fixed, per unit of quantity, etc.) in P6, how to create project schedule basing on financial constraints, etc.
I hope to receive some instructions here and suggest others to place here their questions on scheduling and budgeting functionality of PM tools.
Best Regards,
Vladimir
