As long as you are clear about the various functionalities of your organisation, how is it broken down and whether the responsibilities are shared, overlapped or standalone, you can even have a hybrid OBS for the purpose of managing projects in P6.

EPS Enterprise Project Structure can be used in many ways to handle multiple projects or the different versions of the same project.

Primavera P6 is a very powerful tool to manage multiple projects in one go even if you are running a single user installation. EPS takes its capabilities to even more powerful state by allowing it to create & archive projects in the way we are comfortable with.

The foregoing example just illustrates some of the ways we can use the EPS functionality of P6.

Mis-management or non-availability of any of the above seven types of resources can lead to failure of project(s). Some high-level thinkers in the capacity of Project Managers consider “Motivation” as a transparent resource and constantly work on it throughout the duration of the project.

No wonder, they succeed.
