We can show columns as display in below picture to analyze Earned Value Management. Click on Project Baseline and select our baseline. We will assign this baseline for our project. Click on Add and OK to create a baseline. We have a simple project to finish casting 10 column.įirst we have to create baseline for this project. This article addresses the concept of Earned Value Management and how it works in Primavera P6 by going through the example below. If you don’t have Emerald’s Primavera In-A-Box solution when undertaking a turnaround project at least the P6-Loader can correct Primavera P6 settings and structures quickly when an issue arises.Primavera provides a method named Earned Value Management technique to control project performance. Load corrected P6-Loader Excel file back into P6 to update settings automatically and resolve the issueĥ minutes after the P6-Loader completed the upload the incorrect archive file generation stopped and regular operations resumed (200MB of logs within a 4 hour timeframe).Review and correct the publish and summarize settings for validity relevant to current projects.Extract project preferences into P6-Loader Excel format.

We corrected the issue immediately by 3 simple steps:

It turns out, by mistake, all the archived projects and some of the currently active projects had a flag to publish to the extended schema every 15 minutes. Costs range from hundreds of thousands to a few million dollars depending on size and scope of projects being managed within the system. What does a decision like this cost an organization? Well it depends, but we do work with companies that run Primavera where downtime is not an option. The resource responsible in this scenerio never had time to complete the monitoring task. Yes, Oracle or other tools exist to monitor this scenario, but in a busy world this kind of monitoring get classified as “nice to have”. We asked ourselves “what could generate this kind of archive volume”? In this case, the client’s system implemented Netapp storage with Cisco servers running VMWare and Windows operating system. If the client had been running Emerald’s Primavera In-A Box, a notification would have alerted them when they were running out of drive space and the archive remediation could have taken place prior to the database being inoperable.
