  • Participant roles and mixed capability across the cohort
  • Project environment and how P6 is used on the job
  • Schedule templates and coding structures
  • Reporting cycles and stakeholder layouts
  • Update workflows and review discipline
  • Organisational requirements and client P6 environments
