Appendix B
Sample Reports
The sample reports in this appendix were produced by using Primavera Project Man-
ager P6 and Primavera Project Planner P3 software. In these reports, an asterisk next
to a date indicates a constraint.
TABULAR REPORTS
Report 1 : Report 1 (Table B.1) is a list of activities with information such as the orig-
inal duration, remaining duration, percent complete, early start, early finish, late start,
late finish, and total float. For new projects that have not started yet, the remaining
duration and percent complete may be omitted. Note that when an event (start or
finish) happens, the early and late dates for the event are replaced with the actual date
(followed by A in the report). Obviously, total float disappears from completed activ-
ities. Milestones are represented by a single date: start or finish. Activity codes may be
used to group (organize) activities. In this case, we grouped them by Responsibility.
When grouping activities, you may use the software's Subtotal function, which pro-
vides summary information per grouping code at the top of the group (or you may
choose the bottom of the group). Note, however, that you must read these subto-
tals with caution. They include only what you see and exclude any activities that were
filtered out. This applies to their attributes, such as duration and cost.
Report 2 : Report 2 (Table B.2) is a list of activities such as those in report 1, but
we hide the late start, late finish, and total float. Note that the early start and early finish
have been renamed just “Start” and “Finish.” We group activities by department (with
a subtotal at the bottom) and list the activity code Responsibility and the calendar that
each activity will follow.
Report 3: Report 3 (Table B.3) is a list of activities with their predecessors and
successors. Note that the list does not specify the type of relationship or the lag (if
any). Other information may be listed, such as Activity Status.
Report 4: Report 4 (Table B.4) is an earned value report that shows earned value
versus actual and planned costs. Also note the totals.
Report 5: Report 5 (Table B.5) is a resource analysis showing budgeted units,
actual units, and other data per resource.
