The document discusses variance in Earned Value Management. It argues that variance should not be seen negatively but as an important indicator that allows projects to be adjusted. Variance occurs because plans will not unfold exactly as expected. The role of managers is to identify variance early to mitigate risks. The document outlines common mistakes that can lead to unnecessary variance, such as poor setup of the Earned Value Management System or lack of education for managers. It stresses the importance of starting early and getting the system setup correctly.

1. Primavera P6 History
Primavera P6 History
by TheP6Pro
I’m sometimes asked how long Primavera P6 has been on the market and what I know about
its history. Fair question. You’d like to be sure you’re dealing with a mature product and that
you’re not going to be beta testing it for the manufacturer during your implementation. Well, no
danger of that with Primavera P6. Its roots go back to 1996 when a small company named
Eagle Ray Software Systems, Inc. set up shop in New York State and set about building a true
enterprise project management software solution.
Up to this point, most of the “enterprise” offerings on the market were from vendors of desktop
tools that had re-engineered or rebadged their products as enterprise systems. Very few of
these ever managed to make the leap to a true enterprise solution and some no longer exist
today. Eagle Ray’s only real competition at the time was Artemis, with their Artemis Views suite
and Welcom Software’s Open Plan.
Interestingly, the Eagle Ray tool’s interface looked a lot like Primavera’s P3. Not too surprising
therefore that Primavera acquired Eagle Ray Software Systems in 1999. Primavera quickly
rebadged the tool Primavera P3/e and then Primavera TeamPlay; the latter being the IT flavor
of the system for the emerging popularity of projectizing IT shops.
Responding to the increasing demand for browser-based enterprise systems, Primavera
wasted no time in building out the web-based side of the product. With the 2002 release of
version 3.0, PrimaVision was the beginning of a strategic shift towards a totally web-based
2. enterprise project portfolio solution. PrimaVision is the early ancestor of today’s Primavera P6
Web Access client.
In 2006, Primavera TeamPlay version 5.0 was released and the PrimaVision web client was re-
badged myPrimavera. This was the first web client that offered a full range of enterprise
portfolio and collaborative functionality along with enhanced project management capabilities.
The web-based solution was starting to mature into a highly functional option and was gaining
popularity within the industry.
2007 saw the release of Primavera P6 (version 6.0). Subsequent version 7 and version 8
releases have retained the P6 name with the version number as a suffix. At the time of writing,
Primavera P6 release 8.2 is the current version. This release now represents the fulfillment of
the web strategy, allowing its users to manage the entire system via the web client without the
need for the original client software for administrative operations.
A much-enhanced version of the original Eagle Ray client software is still available from Oracle
Primavera today and is called P6 Professional. This remains popular with power users as an
additional option to the current web-based system. P6 Professional connects to the same
database schema as the web-based system, but is a more traditional client that can be run as
a stand-alone application. You can still find evidence of its Eagle Ray beginnings if you know
where to look. The popular export format ‘XER’ (named after its file extension) stands for
eXport Eagle Ray.
On October 8th 2008 Oracle announced that it had entered into an agreement with Primavera
to acquire the company. Oracle Primavera P6 continues to grow and continues to secure its
position as the leading enterprise project portfolio management systems in the world. Oracle
Primavera now has an estimated 450,000 users in over 60,000 organizations across the globe
and shows no sign of slowing down. For organizations looking to deploy a fully web-based
project system, there really isn’t anything else out there that’s close.
