Ditch the spreadsheets and guesswork, use earned value management to see exactly where your project stands on time, cost, and performance, all in one place.
Managing projects without a solid sense of timing and cost control is a bit like trying to assemble IKEA furniture without the manual… you might get there, but it’s going to be messy. That’s where scheduling tools come into play. But not just any tool, you need one that brings structure and insight to the chaos.
Primavera scheduling software is built for exactly that. It gives you a clear line of sight across your timelines, budgets, and actual progress. And when you layer in earned value management, suddenly you’re not just tracking tasks, you’re measuring how much real value your project is delivering along the way.
Whether you’re overseeing a complex infrastructure build or coordinating a multi-phase upgrade, understanding where your project stands at any moment matters. Let’s look at how Primavera helps teams keep their performance on point, using features that do the heavy lifting when it comes to tracking cost and schedule efficiency.
EVM might sound like project jargon, but it’s really just a smart way to compare what’s planned, what’s actually been done, and what it’s costing you. Primavera makes this easier by calculating key metrics like EV, PV, and AC automatically. Once it’s set up, you can track performance without crunching the numbers manually; it’s built right into your workflow.
With a live, accurate view of your schedule and costs, you can tell, almost instantly, if something’s veering off track. Primavera lets you build detailed baselines, compare them to real progress, and generate variance reports that actually make sense. It’s a whole lot easier to fix a delay when you catch it early, and this software gives you that chance.
Good data means better decisions, and Primavera gives you options for exactly how you want to track progress. Whether it's physical % complete, units installed, or weighted milestones, the platform’s flexible enough to suit different methods. You can even bring in external data or timesheet entries to make sure the numbers you’re seeing reflect reality.
Spotting a pattern early, before it becomes a problem, is kind of like having a superpower. Primavera helps with that too , by visualising trends across SPI, CPI, and other key performance metrics, you get a sense of how your project is behaving over time. That means better forecasts, smarter planning, and the kind of reporting stakeholders actually find useful.

“I got trained for Primavera P6 PPM through Compass Consult. Honestly, the things that got me in were their competitive pricing and payment plans in offer. The thing that I highly admire about the training is that it is a very practical, hands-on training wherein you can learn while working on your own project. The trainers are highly experienced and fundamentally strong. I would strongly recommend the training to someone who needs hands-on experience in P6.”

"Compass has bent over backwards to meet the needs of SRG Global. They have been patient as we went through the process of reviewing and approving the equipment. Equipment was then delivered promptly to the location we requested. The project does not start until the new year, but given the excellent service thus far, I am highly confident it will not have any issues with the network connectivity setup."
Yes, it’s built for it. Primavera is designed to manage not just single projects but entire portfolios. You can align multiple schedules, share resources across projects, and roll up data for program-level reporting. This makes it a powerful choice for organisations running several large projects at once.
It does have a learning curve, especially if you're new to scheduling tools. But once you get the hang of it, the structure it brings is well worth it. Many users start with the basics, creating activities and assigning durations, then grow into more advanced features over time. Training and support options also help flatten the learning curve.
