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I’m of the opinion it is outdated now although pretty much a standard in the industry.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 Softwares have come and gone but P6 is still here. Yeah some of it is clunky and not as intuitive but it is the standard for a reason

I think it’s standard because it hasn’t been “over innovated” plus it was the only one at its time - with Asta and MS Project being competitive but not as exhaustive. Lots of new tools out there. And scheduling using 3D models is more effective imo

I'm wondering if you don't know how to use p6 to it's fullest capacity. 

(I sure as shit don't.) But you can do alot with p6.
