Resource and Cost Analysis with P3 Course
Introduction:
This course will enable you to take full advantage of driving resources, resource curves, hierarchical resources, resource profiles/tables and Resource Levelling. Learn Resource calendars for planning and control and rich text format reports for status reporting. Participants will develop, update and track resources and costs using a series of hands-on workshops.
Course Objectives:
Upon course completion, you will be able to:
- Adding a project to a project group
- Developing the coding structure
- Adding the project code values
