Is there anyone familiar with P6 (formerly P3e/c)?

Thread Content

I’ve just started working with P6; I completed a 3-day training course in a hurry, and now I need to start doing exercises. The textbook is very thin and structured in an outline format. Based on what I’ve learned in these two days, it’s far from enough to complete the exercises – I’m seeking help from those who are more experienced. The practice problems are as follows; please, someone knowledgeable can give me the answers! I. Multiple-choice Questions (26 points) 1. What components does P3E/C consist of?

(a) P3E/C can automatically assign planned tasks to the executing units and personnel on a regular basis ； (b) P3E/C can publish information on the local LAN and provide feedback on progress ； (c) P3E/C enables centralized allocation and management of resources across the entire enterprise ； (d) P3E/C can only perform tracking and analysis of single-level plans. 3.

The hierarchical structure of progress, resources, and costs that can be controlled by P3E/C is ( ) (a) Project/WBS/Task ； (b), EPS/Project/WBS/Task/Step ； (c) EPS/Project/WBS/Task. 6. What are the components of the cost of a task? ( ) (a) The amount of resources multiplied by the unit price of those resources ； (b) Resource cost plus role cost ； (c) Resource costs plus other expenses ； (d) Other expenses. 7. Which of the following statements about calendars is correct? ( ) (a) A task can have multiple calendars ； (b) A task can have multiple calendars ； (c) A resource can have multiple calendars.

The method for processing P3E/C data remotely ( ) (a) Direct remote access to the server via ADSL using the PV method ； (b) Transmitting data to remote locations via email or other means, and processing it there ； (c) Any of the above methods is acceptable. 11. Which of the following statements regarding “work products and documents” is incorrect? ( ) (a) The external documents in P3EC can be viewed by all users of P3E/C ； (b) A “modification date” can be set for work products and documents” ； (c) Work products and documents can only be assigned to projects, WBS, or tasks ； (d) The same work product and document can only be assigned to one project. 12. If a task’s progress is calculated based on a resource calendar, then the type of this task is: ( ) (a) Independent task ； (b) Milestone tasks ； (c) Coordination tasks (d) Serialization tasks 13. Which of the following equations for computational volume is incorrect? ( ) (a) Actual amount + Remaining amount = Amount at completion ； (b) Original scheduled time + remaining time = completion time ； (c) Budget quantity = Quantity upon completion (when the task has not started).
