Frequently Asked Questions

Third-party software is additional software from third-party vendors that works with Oracle Primavera. It adds functionality that is not standard in Primavera Cloud, such as advanced visualizations or risk management.
Usually not, because Primavera Cloud already offers extensive functionality. Still, TurboChart and RISKID can be valuable additions for linear planning and professional risk management.
TurboChart makes time-way diagrams (linear schedules) simple and visually appealing. It works with Primavera Cloud or P6 Client by importing schedules and synchronizing updates, including baselines and progress comparisons.
The ATC-100 training is designed for experienced planners with basic knowledge of project planning. You will learn to create and link time path diagrams and Line of Balance diagrams to Primavera Cloud.
RISKID supports risk inventory and links this data to the Primavera Cloud risk register via an Excel import template. This creates a complete and reliable register for professional risk management.
In the RID-100 training you will learn to identify, structure and correctly import risks into Primavera Cloud. The focus is on a structured approach and optimal use of risk management functionalities.
Aram Academy is a partner of both vendors and the training provider for the use of these tools in combination with Primavera. We make sure that you get the most out of the coupling and integration.
