Oracle Primavera Cloud

By audience

Scheduler

• Builds and maintains the CPM contract schedule in the schedule module — activities, relationships, calendars, WBS and baselines.
• Runs Monte Carlo quantitative risk analysis directly against schedule activities, with no bolt-on component or third-party tool.
• Exchanges schedules with Primavera P6 via XER and with Microsoft Project via XML when a contract still specifies those formats.
• Resource- and cost-loads activities from a central pool of labour, equipment and material to expose capacity conflicts across projects.

Project Manager

• Runs one unified plan in which the field's weekly task commitments roll up against the contract schedule's milestones.
• Owns the central risk register — qualitative scoring, pre- and post-response plans, and actual cost and schedule impacts as risks occur.
• Tracks cash flow and the cost breakdown structure against the resource-loaded plan.
• Configures project and workspace dashboards to report schedule health to the owner and the wider delivery team.

Superintendent

• Runs pull-planning sessions on a digital network diagram with swim lanes, creating and managing handoffs between trades.
• Publishes and prints the weekly work plan, then commits the sequence with the last planners in a one-click handshake.
• Reviews percent plan complete (PPC) and reasons for missed commitments to tighten the following week's plan.
• Links make-ready constraints to tasks — including Oracle Aconex work packages — so blockers are cleared before work starts.

Foreman / Field Supervisor

• Runs the 15-minute daily huddle from the daily plan, marking tasks complete or recommitting them to a new finish date with a reason code.
• Updates assigned tasks from the Primavera Cloud mobile app on the jobsite, online or off.
• Reads the weekly work plan by swim lane or activity band to see which of the crew's tasks are committed for the week.

Owner/Developer

• Prioritises and selects which capital projects to fund, using portfolio and capital planning against strategic objectives.
• Watches schedule and cost risk exposure across the whole programme from portfolio-level dashboards and roll-ups.
• Holds delivery teams to a contractual CPM schedule while seeing the field's short-interval commitments against it.
• Licenses the dedicated Primavera Cloud Service for owners edition, sold separately from the delivery-teams service.

By phase

Concept & Planning

• Owners score and select which projects enter the capital programme using portfolio and capital planning, before a design contract exists.
• Planners build the early master schedule and test completion dates with quantitative risk simulation before commitments are made.

Pre-Construction

• Schedulers develop the contract CPM schedule, set the baseline and resource-load it against the central labour, equipment and material pool.
• The risk register is stood up — risk breakdown structure, scoring matrix and probability, cost and schedule thresholds — before work starts.
• Existing P6 XER or Microsoft Project XML schedules are imported to seed the project rather than rebuilt from scratch.

Construction

• Field teams run Last Planner-style pull planning, weekly work plans and daily huddles against the live contract schedule.
• Progress and percent complete flow back from mobile task updates into the master schedule.
• Risks are monitored and controlled, with actual cost and schedule impacts captured as they occur.
• Schedule activities feed downstream systems — Aconex Connected Cost control accounts and Procore's Schedule tool.
