Practical Time Impact Analysis with Primavera P6

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.Learn how to assess construction delays and prepare practical Time Impact Analyses using Primavera P6.This course follows a fictional reference project through practical delay scenarios, helping you understand how events affect schedule logic, available float, critical paths, milestones, and project completion. Step-by-step demonstrations connect the modeling process with the reasoning behind each change.You will explore design approval delays, restricted site access, long-lead procurement, missed outage windows, existing contractor delays, and interacting owner and contractor events. You will learn to build delay fragnets, select an appropriate reference schedule, preserve actual progress, and compare results without double-counting impacts.A dedicated module addresses a common challenge: working without a credible approved baseline. You will examine schedule reliability, document deficiencies, develop a provisional reference model, and explain the assumptions and limitations affecting your conclusions.The course also covers mitigation and recovery, multiple events across schedule updates, changing critical paths, and comparisons with other delay-analysis methods. These include as-planned versus as-built, impacted as-planned, collapsed as-built, and windows analysis.Supporting exercises help you connect delay events with schedule evidence and prepare clear explanations of the modeled results. The emphasis is on understanding why dates change and how to communicate those changes.This course is intended for schedulers, planning engineers, project controls professionals, project managers, and professionals developing construction claims expertise. Basic knowledge of CPM scheduling and Primavera P6 is recommended.AI assistance disclosure: AI tools helped develop written explanations, presentation materials, fictional practice scenarios, and supporting resources. The examples are educational; applying these methods to actual projects requires checking the schedule inputs, project records, assumptions, and calculated results.
