I've never heard of this until last week. I was asked to produce a schedule of my activities for the coming months and now the client wants to bring my schedule in to line with the rest of the programme using this software. I've no idea what it's all about other than there's only one person in the company who is an expert on it and is not received in good light by other members of the client's staff."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".

There's plenty of courses out there.Comment

P3 is huge and used for enterprise planning. It has also stood the test of time - the P3 package relates to windows 3 sw. It still only supports filenames in the 8.3 format. We used it on a huge scale at GSK where they employed a large chunk of P3 planners. It's something I really want to get into but can't - I used to take the P3 data and generate all the management info and reports for a third of the project at GSK which was and still is the worlds biggest ever pharma project.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment

At that level it's similar to MS Project although it does have quite a bit more advanced functionality you can exploit if you RTFM and experiment.Comment
