About P6 AnalyticsP6 Analytics provides an in-depth and comprehensive method for gathering, analyzing, sharing, and storing project performance, project history, resource assignment, and utilization data. Use the P6 Analytics add-on application with P6 EPPM to create powerful custom dashboards and reports to help your organization make better business decisions. P6 Analytics requires Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) or Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition. Built upon the Oracle Business Intelligence (OBI) suite, P6 Analytics delivers a catalog of requests called Dashboards and Answers that provide an interactive way of viewing, analyzing, and evaluating P6 EPPM data. In addition, it provides a Repository (RPD) file which contains the data mappings between the physical data and the presentation layer of OBI. The dashboards provide detailed insight into your P6 EPPM data, through the use of analytical charts, tables, and graphics. Dashboards have the ability to navigate to other requests, to provide precise root cause analysis. In addition, you can configure individual requests with the P6 EPPM Action Link, which enables you to navigate directly to your P6 site for true "Insight to Action" capabilities. Reports created with Oracle BI Answers can be saved in the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog, and can be integrated into any Oracle BI home page or dashboard. Results can be enhanced through options such as charting, result layout, calculation, and drill-down features. In summary, use P6 Analytics to:
Performance Data P6 Analytics provides an RPD file to be used with the Oracle Business Intelligence suite. The RPD file contains:
The RPD delivers an extensive amount of earned value, cost, unit, percent complete, and other key performance indicators. It enables data to be sliced by items such as time, project, eps, portfolios, activities, and resources. P6 Analytics delivers a sample dataset (P6 EPPM, Stage, ODS, and Star) from which the Dashboards and Answers requests in the catalog are built. This sample data can be used to view the power of Dashboards and Answers requests delivered in the catalog, which will give the user an idea of how the catalog can be integrated with their data. For information on configuring the sample dataset, see the SampleData.pdf document that is included in the P6Analytics\Sample folder on your release media pack or download. The Star Database The Star database enables your organization to perform advanced business analysis on project and portfolio data. It supplies a dimensional schema that organizes P6 EPPM hierarchical relationships, enables the highest level of query efficiency and flexibility in data analysis, and accumulates project data over time. This provides organizations with baselines for tracking trends and for advanced business intelligence. |
