Monitoring Large P6 Groups with P6-Auditor
P6-Auditor helps find users who made mistakes in P6
Deleting and editing global data happens; P6-Auditor can help
Client Overview
Large Electrical Utility with several P6 databases with internal and external scheduling teams needed a way to manage and report on functions inside P6.
Challenges
-
With a large team of P6 users, it is hard to track down when projects are deleted
-
Ensuring that the EPS does not get changed when users are cutting and pasting projects was a challenge
-
When managing a resource pool of over 10 thousands crews, making sure your resource dictionary is maintained and coding kept up to date with more than one admin can be error prone
Results

Tracing project deletes easily and rollbacks if required
-
Reporting on update frequencies - actual starts, actual finishes, and percent completes
-
Edits to the resource dictionary that were not expected including deletes and cut and pastes
-
Verifying changes to activity codes and who made them as well as when they were made
-
Tracing EPS moves that no user admitted to
-
Finding logic changes that should not have been made as well as task deletes
