Overview

P6 Schedule Analytics reads a Primavera P6 export, either XER or P6 XML, and analyses it the way a client, a Project Manager or a delay expert would. You don't need a P6 licence: the file is enough.

Where to start#

What happens to an upload#

1. The file is parsed. Durations, lags and float are converted from P6's hours using each activity's own calendar.
2. The dashboard is built: progress, earned value and earned schedule, S-curves, float and resources.
3. The DCMA 14-point assessment and 25 diagnostic checks run, each result listing the activities behind it.
4. The critical path is recomputed from the logic, independently of the float P6 stored, and the app tells you if the two disagree.

Load earlier updates or a baseline alongside the file and the trend, baseline and delay and forensic modules have something to compare.

The guides#

• Schedule quality: the DCMA assessment with a page for each check, Insights and Repair XER.
• Analysis: the dashboard, earned value, the critical path, forensic analysis, schedule risk, trend and delay and NEC4 checks.
• On site: look-ahead, Progress Update and reports and exports.
• Help: troubleshooting and the glossary.
