PMSB provides education and training in the Critical Path Method and the use of industry-standard Critical Path Method software tools from Primavera Systems Inc., including Primavera Project Planner®, Suretrak® Project Manager, Primavera Contractor®, Primavera P6®.

Our energetic and results-based courses combine lecture, full-motion multimedia training aids, and hands-on workshops using the latest project management software. Our team is available for either on- or off-site training anywhere in the country. PMSB creates customized course outlines based on the client’s specific needs. A typical course can range from one to three days in length, and can be tailored to more robust or less intensive needs.
The Stubby Pencil
Calculating the CPM network with a pencil is simple. Unfortunately it is also extremely time consuming. The commercially available software tools are specifically designed to quickly (almost instantly) calculate the CPM network.
The old saying, "Garbage in equals garbage out (GIGO)," is very relevant when it comes to using the CPM software. If the information entered into the software is flawed, then the calculated Early Date, Late Date, and Total Float calculations will also be incorrect.
The CPM software also allows the team members to organize project activities in a variety of ways. By presenting the information in an efficient manner, the team members can more easily “see” the project from their perspective. For example the drywall contractor may wish to see his activities in relation to the painter, by floor and area, with all other trades activities removed from the view.
