Hi kamran,

I have an experience of leveling 274000 activities project in Spider Project and 81000 activities project in P3e. P3e is much slower but can handle large projects as well.

I will not recommend to use MS Project for large scale projects. My experience with MS Project 2003 showed upper limit between 20000 and 40000 activities but in any case it became very slow when the number of activities was high.

Regards,

Vladimir

Kamran,

you are right, these were personal experiences which I can’t distribute. The speed of P3 I estimate as high.

Evaluate speed is always personal judgement, of course. Maybe it’s helpful to distinguish speed for:

- Load a project / projects

- Close a project

- Schedule

based on an equivalent IT-infrastructure.

Regards

Dieter

Thanks Dieter, I have also experienced a 40,000 activities in P3 but a little slow. It seems these information is not registered and achiveble through the web. isn’t it?

Hi kamran



From my experience I can just give an information on Primavera enterprise:

I recently had a project with 191000 activities. For management reporting I had to include a baseline - 382000 activities to be loaded. It worked. Database server was Oracle.

There are many more projects in the same database.



In P3 I had up to 40000 activities within one project group. It worked without difficulties.

Regards

Thanks Vladimir, very helpful. Do you have any idea for the maximum capacity of activities each software can handle?

thanks

Thanks Karim, I saw the results. But actually I need a table to comapre their features and abilities. for example how many activities they can handle and other advantage/disdvantages for each software.

Thanks again
