[Free 90-min Masterclass] Hands-On Resource Leveling in Primavera P6

Resource leveling in Primavera P6 sounds straightforward in theory, until you actually try to do it.

Many schedulers know the frustration all too well. You build the logic correctly, load resources, finalize durations, and feel confident about the schedule—until you open the resource histogram and realize the plan is practically impossible to execute.

Crew demands spike unrealistically. Resources jump dramatically from week to week. Histograms look chaotic. Project managers start asking difficult questions. And the moment you attempt to run P6’s leveling function, your carefully planned finish date suddenly moves out by weeks—or even months.

So, what happens next?

Most schedulers either avoid resource leveling entirely, manually shift activities around hoping for improvement, or spend hours trying to fix the unintended consequences of leveling runs that disrupted the critical path and created even more confusion.

The reality is that resource leveling is one of the most misunderstood and underutilized capabilities inside Primavera P6—not because the tool itself is flawed, but because most professionals were never taught how to approach it properly.

This free live 90-min masterclass is designed to change that.

In this practical session, you’ll learn how to approach resource leveling with far more confidence, control, and understanding. Instead of guessing your way through leveling settings and hoping for acceptable results, you’ll learn how P6’s leveling engine actually works, how to make smarter leveling decisions, and how to create resource-loaded schedules that are not only technically correct—but realistically executable.

Led by Mostafa AbdelRazik, PMP, EVP, PSP, this session draws from years of real-world planning, scheduling, project controls, and construction experience across industrial, power, turnaround, and major capital projects.

Through live demonstrations and real scheduling scenarios, you’ll see how overloaded schedules can be leveled step-by-step while protecting project priorities and minimizing unnecessary impacts to project completion dates.

More importantly, you’ll begin to understand the reasoning behind the decisions—not just which buttons to click.

Whether you are a junior planner, scheduler, planner/scheduler, or project controls professional working with Primavera P6, this session will help you move beyond simply loading resources into P6 and toward genuinely managing them in a practical, defensible way.

In this free 90-minute masterclass, you will learn:

How Primavera P6 resources and quantities actually work—and how to determine whether leveling is truly required.
How the P6 leveling engine makes decisions so you can better predict outcomes before running the process.
Which leveling settings and priorities matter most—and which common configurations create unintended problems.
How to work through a live resource leveling scenario step-by-step using practical scheduling examples.
How to smooth resource histograms while protecting critical path integrity and minimizing schedule impacts.
How to explain and defend your leveling decisions more confidently to project managers, clients, and stakeholders.

Resource leveling does not have to feel like trial and error.

Join us for this practical live session and learn how to turn resource-loaded schedules into plans your project teams can actually execute—with more confidence, clarity, and control.
