Hi Vladimir,
First is my apology for posting my query on the wrong forum. I copy and pasted some content here and re-raise the query again as stated below.
Mostly on a large scale organisation was involves on a large project where a Project Control groups are huge and composed of different key players. On alliance contract composed of different company are having multiple projects and different site at the same time.
Now my queries are these and I know you are the best person to ask with.
In Spider Project:
1) How to handle a big project using different key players?
2) How it is manage on a big picture where all key players are doing at the same time (i.e. multiple planners having there own area, cost controller and portfolio management)?
3) How to handle cost management, schedule at the same time with different key players?
4) How to handle multiple projects at the same time?
5) How the information’s are shared including the load of works of each key player?
6) Is spider project looking to upgrade and get into enterprise and Portfolio Project Management?
In P6, we handle multiple projects in one centralize server database where every key player have access with limited security settings. Cost management and scheduling are handled by different key players so task of each key member are not overloaded and concentrated on their areas where a management level have overall controls and get an overall picture at once. Handling multiple projects is easy and manageable per project or per enterprise level. Each key player has access on online communication and update there own task even on different locations. Is this also possible in Spider Projects or looking to it in the future? Or is it possible to install Spider Projects on a server and more than one user can use at the same time?
There is no doubt that major planning software can handle big job like what you mentioned but depends on the process, procedure and communication of every key player to make it successful. Back on the early days when we are using standalone P3.x to manage big jobs and multiple projects where the common process is to have every key player a separate database on each machine to plan, monitor and update projects on their respective area and used project check-in/ check-out to update the master schedule and summarize the project by the lead planner or PCM. The master program has all the level 1 schedule and the rest are sub-projects. Sometimes if the program is too complicated or too big we use external software to gather all information and combine the summary when producing report to get the over all pictures of a project. When P6 enterprise was release it reduces the risk of error and communications are become more feasible and manageable. Managing Portfolio management is easier and lives information on the spot.
The reason I ask this is I read your presentation about Infrastructure Projects in Russia.ppt where you introduce the use of RCP and I’m curious to know the process how it is manage using multiple key player in one project. I also read in some of your white paper that Portfolio Management in Spider project was handled successfully.
Thank you and hoping some feedback from you.
Best Regards,
Rodel
