Project Management Phases and Processes
For all but the smallest projects, experienced project managers use well-established project management methodologies. These are often published systems – such as PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) or PRINCE2 – but they can also be in-house methodologies that are specific to the organization.

These approaches have some differences in emphasis, and they tend to use slightly different terminology, but they generally share two key features: projects are delivered in stages, and certain common project management processes run across these stages.
This is illustrated in Figure 1.



The exact phases, and the order in which they're completed, may vary slightly, depending on what you need to achieve with your project. The phases are as follows:
• Project strategy and business case.
• Preparation.
• Design.
• Development and testing.
• Training and business readiness.
• Support and benefits realization.
• Project close.

Primavera has been in business since 1983. Their business model was to build project management software and sell it through a network of distributors. They now sell directly to major accounts, IT accounts and Government Agencies.

Until the new century Primavera focused on, and became the dominant player, in Construction and capital intensive industries, typically used on large projects with dedicated project teams. Today, Primavera has a number of products, some have their roots in the early days of the company, others have been acquired attempting to move in new directions.

Primavera Project Planner, Primavera Expedition (Primavera Contract Manager) and Primavera SureTrak have their roots from the early days when the focus was on professional project managers in large capital intensive industries.
In 1999 Primavera purchased a small company called Eagle Ray Software Systems who had built a product targeted at the Information Technology/software development area.

Over several generations these products have become the Primavera P6 range. Earlier versions were called Primavera Project Manager, Primavera Project Management, and Primavera Enterprise.

The early versions of this product were client/server based using Oracle or MS SQL-Server. Subsequent releases have included web components for timesheets and collaboration and, more recently, portfolio management. Today, the Primavera P6 range has a sophisticated technical architecture for large Enterprise Project Management deployments. Its project planning and scheduling capabilities are world-class although inexperienced project planners are often perplexed by it. Pinnacle has led many implementations of Primavera for Enterprise Project Management.

In 2003 Primavera purchased Evolve software Inc. and their Professional Services Automation (PSA) product. This product, Primavera Evolve, is positioned for Enterprise Resource Management and targeted at knowledge-worker intensive organizations such as professional services firms.

Over the last 5 years project management software vendors have been improving their offerings to position them as supporting project portfolio management: the simultaneous management of hundreds or thousands of projects and a pipeline of new business. Primavera has added Project In one sense organizations can approach Portfolio Management in either a bottom-up or top-down way.

Also, in 2006 Primavera acquired a sophisticated project-oriented Risk Management product called PertMaster.

This year (2008) Primavera released a product called Primavera Inspire that connects Primavera P6 and SAP.

Recently Primavera was acquired by Oracle Corporation. This acquisition will certainly change the playing field in the project management software world. Pinnacle expects to see Primavera become a much stronger player in New Product Development and in the IT space. The leading players in this space today are Planview, CA Clarity and Compuware.
