This two-day training course will help you master Oracle Primavera Risk Analysis, a leading tool used both at the tender stage and during project execution.
You will learn how to identify, quantify, and prioritise risks, analyse dynamic critical paths, and integrate both financial and scheduling impacts into your project strategy. The course also introduces Monte Carlo simulations – a powerful method to anticipate potential deviations and produce more reliable forecasts.
Primavera Risk Analysis training can be used proactively, to secure planning assumptions and commitments when preparing a tender, or reactively, to support variance analysis and the replanning of a project facing difficulties.
Through practical case studies, you will develop a rigorous, decision-focused approach, applicable to any EPC project or multi-stakeholder initiative with significant contractual challenges.
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
Use Primavera P6 Risk Analysis and its key features to identify, classify, and document cost- and schedule-related risks.
Quantify the financial and time impacts of uncertainties (delays or advances).
Model project risks using Monte Carlo simulations.
Analyse dynamic critical paths to detect weaknesses in the schedule.
Translate technical results into economic impacts to create justified and effective mitigation plans.
Strengthen decision-making during tendering, execution, or replanning stages.
At the end of this training, each participant will be able to assess uncertainties regarding deadlines and financial aspects.
This Primavera P6 advanced resources and skills training is intended for project managers and anyone involved in a company project.
A basic understanding of project management is required. Prerequisites will be validated through a pre-training interview prior to training.
This Primavera P6 training is led by Oracle Primavera certified trainers, with discussions and role-playing, in person or online via Teams.
Each participant will use a computer with Primavera P6 installed, receive training materials, and follow a programme combining theory and case studies.
Your skills will be evaluated through hands-on exercises, self-assessment, and an attestation of completion provided at the end of the training.
