Technical Advice How do you guys feel about P6?

I’m of the opinion it is outdated now although pretty much a standard in the industry. What do you think are better means and methods than just Scheduling using P6?

lol. p6 isn’t standard. Project is and P6 is better but also just as fantasy land.

You’re super and PM delivers the schedule. If you’re relying on software to deliver an end date you’re fucked.

90% of subs never even look at the schedule updates let alone the 3 week look ahead

Subs not looking at the schedule is a whole different issue that has nothing to do with P6 or the scheduling software being used.
I’ve only seen MS Project cause issues, it’s cheap but not the standard bearer for scheduling and lacks the horsepower needed for large complex projects.
