oracle is doing their round of webinars after the latest release of primavera p6, version 16.2. i logged in to get the skinny on what we can expect in terms of new features and functions in primavera p6 16.2.<\/p>\n

starting from release 15 of primavera p6, the oracle primavera business unit has committed to 2 releases every year. a new major version is released in the spring (xx.1) with the major versions matching the year. a minor release (xx.2) is expected each fall.<\/p>\n

as always, when there’s a release to primavera p6, we can expect updates to both primavera p6 eppm and primavera p6 professional. in addition, we can expect updates to the other primavera p6 components like primavera gateway, primavera analytics, primavera unifier and primavera prime. i don’t usually cover these other products because there never seemed like much demand, but if you want me to cover these in the future, drop me a comment below. if there’s demand, i’ll cover these. let’s get back to talking about p6.<\/p>\n

what’s new in primavera p6 16.2<\/h2>\n

well, since primavera p6 16.2 is a minor release, don’t get your hopes up too much. it’s a pretty lean update on new features. i’ll start with primavera p6 professional.<\/p>\n

new in primavera p6 16.2 professional<\/h3>\n

did i mention this is a lean release?\u00a0for this release, i get the sense that there’s a lot of focus from oracle on performance. now primavera p6 professional performs pretty fine since it was\u00a0ported to 64-bit. but the focus here was on primavera p6 cloud connect, the connector that allows a primavera p6 client to connect to a database in the cloud.<\/p>\n
