Explain the Different Activity Types Available in Primavera P6

Primavera P6 provides several activity types to represent different kinds of work and milestones within a project schedule.

  1. Task Dependent Activity

The most commonly used activity type.

Its duration and dates are controlled by the activity's relationships and assigned calendar.

Used for normal project tasks such as excavation, concreting, installation, and testing.

Example: Concrete pouring for a foundation.

  1. Resource Dependent Activity

The activity schedule is driven by the calendars of the assigned resources rather than the activity calendar.

Useful when resource availability determines when work can be performed.

Example: Specialized equipment installation that depends on the availability of a certified technician.

  1. Level of Effort (LOE)

Represents ongoing support activities that occur over a period of time.

Duration is automatically calculated based on the activities it supports.

Does not usually affect the project's critical path.

Example: Project management, supervision, quality control, and site administration.

  1. Start Milestone

Represents a significant event marking the beginning of a phase or project.

Has zero duration.

Used to indicate important start points.

Example: Notice to Proceed (NTP) received.

  1. Finish Milestone

Represents a significant event marking the completion of a phase or project.

Has zero duration.

Used to indicate important completion points.

Example: Project Handover Completed.

  1. WBS Summary Activity

Summarizes all activities within a specific WBS element.

Duration and dates are automatically calculated from the activities under that WBS.

Primarily used for reporting and monitoring.

Example: A "Civil Works" summary activity showing the overall duration of all civil construction activities.

What is Lag and Lead in Primavera?

What is Lag and Lead in Primavera P6? Lag and Lead are used in Primavera P6 to control the time gap between two activities in a schedule relationship. Lag Lag is a delay between two activities. It adds extra waiting time after the predecessor activity before the successor activity can start or finish. Lag is usually written as + days. Example: Activity A → Activity B (Finish-to-Start +3 days) Activity A finishes on Day 5 Activity B will start on Day 8 Because there is 3 days lag (waiting time) Simple Meaning: Lag = Waiting time between activities Lead Lead is the overlapping time between two activities. It allows the successor activity to start before the predecessor activity finishes. Lead is shown as a negative lag (-) in Primavera. Example: Activity A → Activity B (Finish-to-Start -2 days) Activity B starts 2 days before Activity A finishes. Simple Meaning: Lead = Activities overlap Short Definition Lag: Delay between activities (+ time) Lead: Overlap between activities (- time) If you want, I can also explain with a simple construction example used in Primavera planning (like concrete, curing, plaster work).
