Platform
One model for schedule, cost, risk and contracts
Primer is built on its own scheduling engine, which calculates the way P6 does. Everything else in Primer hangs off the same links, from a single activity to the whole portfolio.

The engine underneath
A scheduling engine that matches P6
Primer does not just display P6 dates. It works them out again with its own engine: longest path, float, calendars with breaks, resource dependent activities and linked projects. Every run shows how closely it matches P6.
- 92.7% of open activities match P6 across 110 real schedules
- 31,879 activities in one programme, scheduled in about a minute
Tested on real schedules.

One model
Enter it once, use it everywhere
Control accounts map to activities. Risks link to the work they affect. Changes are tested on the real programme and flow to the cost, the contract and the next baseline. Because it is one model, the numbers agree.
Try before you commit
Test a change on a copy first
What-if scenarios run on a copy of the programme, so you can see the effect of a change on the finish date before anyone agrees to it.
