Can someone guide me through the process of creating project templates in P6 8.3.2. I know the older version used to have methodology management but its gone in this version. I am only familiar with methodology management but I have never used it. My boss asked me to create schedule template so we have a starting point rather than starting from scratch every time. How do people usally do this?

the easiest way is to take a project that you have where you would like to maintain the wbs and possibly the coding structure. Copy the project then delete all of the activites. Now you are left with a shell as a stating point. To carry this a step further if you only like a portion of this schedule then filter for what you do not want and delete all of those activities. Now you are only left with what you actually wanted.

Dear Tom,

As I have understood, you want to have (at your company) your unique WBS template to unify all your company's output.

You can do so very easily by creating an empty project and only managing the WBS name and code (to that suits you), you can also acompain the WBS with a written narrative to describe each activity location in your WBS.

You can also create a set of fragnets (small Primavera projects) for the repetitive parts in the project so that you can copy and use it in any project.

Regards

Aziz
