A simple example
We will now create a simple and fictitious example to illustrate how the EPS, OBS, and WBS can work together to implement proper project security. If you are able to create your own copy of a blank P6 database, you are invited to follow along so that you can get a feel for this firsthand.
In this example, our company ACME Inc. has two employees, Alice and Bob, and two projects, Project A and Project B. They work with two subcontractors, Charlie and Diane, who only work on Project B, and who also work on separate parts of the project. Here are the people involved:
Alice: the owner of the company
Bob: the Project Manager for Project B
Charlie: Subcontractor working for Subcontractor 1
Diane: Subcontractor working for Subcontractor 2
Your EPS is simple – there is your company, ACME, at the root level and then two EPS nodes: one for internal projects and one for external projects.
Project A is an internal project and only one employee will be working on it. Project B has the subcontractors...
