You can use P6 Professional or P6 to set up the EPS. If you use P6 Professional, choose Enterprise, Projects to specify project details such as dates, resource and budget information, and so on.
When you create the enterprise project structure, you must identify an OBS element, or person responsible for each node and project within the EPS. For steps on defining the OBS.
- Choose Enterprise, Enterprise Project Structure.
- Click the EPS Name column where you want to add a new element.
- Click Add.
- Type an ID and name for the EPS node. In the Responsible Manager field, select an OBS element for the new element.
- If necessary, you can change the hierarchical position of the new element by clicking the arrow keys.
- Click Close.
- Choose Enterprise, Projects then specify project details such as dates, resource and budget information, and so on.
Note
- A default root node displays in the top left position in the hierarchy. All projects listed below it are part of the same structure. You can also define multiple root nodes to separate various components of your enterprise. For example, you might want to exclude inactive or what-if projects from the main enterprise. To define a root node, click the left arrow key to move an EPS element to the top left position in the hierarchy, then add the hierarchy of projects below this node.
