Abstract	Many companies have started to embrace the paradigm shift towards technological solutions that can help reduce potential risks and wastage. This paper discusses how Primavera P6 is one of the best solutions in solving scheduling issues as a project portfolio management software. The study also shows that there are several concerns that are encountered concerning scheduling such as; resource constraints, co-activities conflicts, and no real time information on the progress of the schedule. The paper also demonstrates how such challenges as detailed work breakdown structures, resource allocation, critical path determination, and integration with other applications such as BIM are dealt with in P6. However, there are challenges to its application and even with these organizations that use P6 there is always improvement on the predictability of the schedule and the use of resources in the project, Project team stakeholders’ management and decision making.
