CPM Scheduling stands for Critical Path Methodology and it is the primary method Primavera P6 uses to schedule projects. In this introductory lesson we'll explain the concept of "scheduling" and introduce you to the CPM Scheduling methodology.

In this comprehensive lesson, Michael will show you the inner workings of the Critical Path Method as he walks you through scheduling an example project step by step. Learn how the Critical Path Method's forward and backwards pass calculations work and how CPM reveals your project's Critical Path. Knowing CPM Scheduling will no doubt make you a better scheduler.

This lesson walks you through how to invoke Primavera's scheduler function to perform CPM Scheduling. We'll also walk you through the schedule log and show you a few other important features related to scheduling.

This lesson will take you through the workflow of using the scheduler in Primavera P6 while you build your project.

Learn about the value of Total Float when there is a project deadline in place. Total Float becomes a major indicator for whether you will deliver your project on schedule or not.

This lesson will demonstrate how to set a Must Finish By deadline on your project in P6. We'll also explore a second way to define Critical Path - which is by Longest Path and show you how to set your Critical Path definition in P6.

This lesson start our exploration of Calendars in Primavera P6 where we will start by focusing on Activity Calendars. Here, we'll walk through how P6 uses Activity Calendars to schedule work.

Calendars in Primavera P6 are key to building good project schedules. Learn about P6's Calendars in this video, creating and editing them.

We'll demonstrate how to assign global and project activity calendars to activities in P6. We'll also cover how to use Fill-Down to change the calendars of multiple activities. And lastly, we'll explain the concept of a default calendar for a project.

This lessons starts an exploration of Activity Constraints in P6. We'll explain what constraints are, how they can be used to tweak the scheduler's dates and some best practices as well.

Learn the steps to work with Activity Constraints and applying them to your schedule. You'll understand the options available to you when applying constraints and walk through two examples in a real world project of delaying work and setting a deadline. This lesson will also discuss best practices on using activity constraints throughout a schedule.
