P6 is the main web application of the P6 EPPM solution. P6 provides enterprise-wide web access to features arranged into the following main sections:
- Dashboards
- Portfolios
- Projects
- Resources
- Reports
- Administration
P6 is a complete Enterprise Project Portfolio Management application with a powerful and efficient interface. It completely tracks projects, portfolios, and resources across their full life cycles, capturing all related costs, issues, risks, and performance metrics along the way. It also supports project templates, allowing you to reuse projects in full or in part. It is designed for organizations that need to manage multiple projects simultaneously and support multi-user access across job sites and throughout the entire organization.
The user interface provides structured menus where you can access a wide range of data views and features that enable you to manage your projects from initial concept review and approval through to completion. You can customize your own web pages, called dashboards, to create a custom view of the specific projects and categories of project data that are most relevant to your role in managing projects and resources.
Users update progress on their tasks in a browser running P6, P6 Team Member Web, the P6 for Android and P6 for iOS mobile or tablet apps, or an email application that exchanges messages with the P6 server. P6 provides centralized resource administration, planning, and management, which includes resource timesheet approval and the ability to communicate with project resources who use P6 Team Member Web, P6 for Android, and P6 for iOS. Use P6 to match people with roles and proficiency levels, and then use that information to assign tasks effectively.
P6 includes robust reporting, workflow, email notifications, events, and document collaboration and review features. It is also the single source for all core administrative functions, including centralized enterprise data, user accounts, application settings, and security for all users in P6 EPPM.
