  Identify the true statement regarding Schedule Checker.

  A. Before running Schedule Checker, you should schedule the project.

  B. Schedule Checker evaluates the WBS structure to demonstrate standards compliance.

  C. Schedule Checker is run from the Portfolios section.

  D. Run Schedule Checker before scheduling the project to fix issues.

  Correct Answer: D

  Explanation:

  Note: The new schedule checker is a tool that assists planners, project managers and the PMO to ensure project plans are built within the guidelines of industry and organizational best practices. The schedule checker performs a 14-point analysis to ensure that activities and dependencies of the project schedule are following desired standards. The schedule checker adheres to the DCMA 14-point assessment check and produces a report that lists all opportunities for corrective action or improvement when aspects of the project schedule fall outside the quality guidelines. The report includes a summary and detailed sections displaying activities falling outside your configured thresholds.

  Note 2: The Schedule Checker can be run against one or multiple projects. You can save the thresholds to run again for the project that is open. The first thing to do is set up the 14 Configurable User Thresholds. See figure below.

  

  Example of output.

• Question 3:

  Select the true statement regarding project security profiles.

  A. Project security profiles define the weight of project codes.

  B. To receive a project security profile, a user must be defined as a resource.

  C. Project security profiles override global security profiles.

  D. To access projects, a user must be assigned a project security profile.

  Correct Answer: D

  information. The Project Management module does not require that each user be assigned a project profile; however, users cannot access projects unless they

  are assigned a project profile or the global profile, Admin Superuser.

  Note:

  To ensure security at various levels of data, the Project Management module provides two sets of security profiles:

  * Global profiles Define a user's access to application-wide information and settings, such as the enterprise project structure (EPS), resources, roles, and cost accounts. Each user must be assigned a global profile. (B) *

  Note 1: The following diagram illustrates the relationships between a user, the OBS, EPS, and WBS.

  

  Note 2: Users in Primavera P6 require two different profiles to control what they can do in the system; a Global Security Profile and a Project Security Profile.

• Question 10:

  Identify this window.

  

  A. Create Dashboard

  B. Create Portfolio

  C. Create Portfolio view

  D. Group and Sort

  Correct Answer: C

  Explanation:

  One idea behind Portfolio Analysis in P6 is that it gives you the ability to quickly make ad-hoc reports. You can quickly change the view and alter what data is

  displayed and in what form. There are two main kinds of views -- scorecards and graphs.

  Note: In the context of creating a scorecard:

  Choosing data to display

  There are three areas that you can customize on a scorecard: Columns, Group, and Waterline.

  Screenshot (compare to screenshot in the question):

  

  Columns The columns available are a mixture of Project-level data as well as WBS-level data. You can choose any of these columns on the left-hand side and press the right-arrow to move them to the Selected Columns. On the right-hand side you may re-order the columns by selecting them and using the up and down arrows. You can choose the default sorting of the data as well. Once on the scorecard screen, you can change the order by simply clicking on the column headers. The option Show Project Requests determines whether potential projects should also be included in the scorecard.
