Construction industry is a vast industry which involves various resources including machineries, proprietors, architects, engineers, technical and non-technical labors. There are also many activities involved in the projects such as finance allocation, design, execution and time duration. The successful planning, execution and completion of any project is possible only by proper management. However, this is highly impossible when done by manual planning and calculations. With the advent of computer software like Primavera P6, MS project multi directional planning, execution and successful completion is 100% possible. Primavera P6 is one of the leading software for project management as it allows creating work breakdown structures into various activities with different calendars, proper risk management coding, finance monitoring and scheduling.
