POWER Engineers is an engineering consulting firm that specializes in energy projects. It has adopted Primavera P6 and other tools to help manage increasingly large and complex energy programs. Key aspects of its approach include using a private cloud platform to host project data and tools, establishing standard program controls processes and data structures for rapid startup, and implementing a structured business rhythm to regularly update, analyze, and report on program status. The presentation discusses challenges of using P6 on large energy programs and how POWER Engineers' approach addresses those challenges.
