About P6 Professional
P6 Professional is a separate component that integrates traditional project management with streamlined resource and cost management. It is ideal for planners and schedulers.
Note: If you decide to use P6 Professional and connect to a P6 EPPM database, you must still use P6 to administer user accounts, some enterprise data, and other settings.
P6 Professional connected to a P6 EPPM database includes a subset of the P6 features. P6 Professional also includes several of its own specialized features. As a primary example, P6 Professional includes the P6 Visualizer application for creating, viewing, and modifying Gantt charts, timescaled logic diagrams (TSLDs), and Schedule Comparisons. Gantt charts provide a graphical display of the project's schedule information in the order determined by grouping and sorting options. The Gantt chart shows each activity's duration, using the timescale specified, as a horizontal bar. A line connecting activity bars indicates a relationship. Gantt charts allocate a row for each activity. TSLDs allow more than one activity per row, which condenses the entire project plan and the paths of activities that drive the project schedule. TSLDs present a graphic depiction of activities and the overall logic of a project according to time. Schedule Comparisons allow you to compare selected data fields in a revised project and its corresponding original project or a revised project and a corresponding baseline.
P6 Professional is available for P6 EPPM users working in a Cloud environment.
P6 Professional is also available for users who need to work on their projects in an offline mode.
Note: Module access to P6 Visualizer is controlled separately from access to P6 Professional.
