Project Scheduling |Primavera P6 | MS Project, Power BI
I just completed a full Oil & Gas project schedule in Primavera P6 Professional, built from scratch as part of my ongoing learning in project controls.
Here's what the schedule includes:
- Full WBS structure across 6 phases; Initiation, Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Testing & Commissioning, and Handover
- 25+ activities with realistic durations and Finish-to-Start predecessor logic
- 6 resources assigned across all phases; Project Manager, Lead Engineer, Procurement Officer, Site Supervisor, HSE Officer, and Construction Crew
- Cost loading of $1.6M across all activities with expense categories
- S-Curve generated showing cumulative budget distribution
- Baseline locked and constraints applied showing critical path analysis
- Project duration: 12 months (Feb 2024 - May 2025)
- Total budget: $1,628,000
- Critical path identified with -53d float , showing real schedule pressure I Turned 4,000 projects ($4.57bn portfolio) into a 3-part risk dashboard
Key findings:
1. $2.26bn (49%) of budget is at risk, 762 projects flagged Critical
2. Risk doesn't fade as projects mature, it spikes again at Execution
3.Surprisingly, Senior/Mixed teams showed the highest critical-risk concentration, not Juniors meaning process maturity mattered more than experience
4.Budget utilization is highest at Initiation (~97%) and drops by Execution (~94%), the riskiest financial calls happen earliest, with the least information.
Built end-to-end in Power BI.
I help teams turn messy project, ops, or sales data into dashboards that actually drive decisions.
