One of the most often requested features for Primavera P6 is an Activity Change Log. Although a log of changes to your project’s activities is not yet native to the software, you can hack yourself a Primavera P6 Change Log using a few simple steps

Why Maintain An Activity Change Log in Primavera P6?
The reasons for tracking changes to your project’s activities during the project lifecycle are many. Here’s a few that come top of mind:

1) Be prepared for claims.

Construction delay claims experts will tell you that the party with the best documentation will most often win the claim. Documentation has not been the strong suit of many project controllers or P6 users, but with claims having more impact and becoming riskier in some industries, the benefits of having good documentation are coming to the forefront.

2) Easier reporting.

One of my clients is required to produce a monthly report to the owner that contains a list of all changes to our project schedule since last month. Right now, we use Change Inspector to generate the report. But it’s not without a lot of Excel magic to get results that make sense and look good. What if you could simply run a report on your Activity Change Log right out of P6? Much easier.

3) Keep a Change Log at your fingertips.

Primavera P6 EPPM‘s auditing feature requires running reports in P6 Analytics. That’s a lot of software overhead to get access to a changelog. What if you could read the change log right in Primavera P6 Professional? When you view an activity, you could see a list of changes, who made them, when, and the impacts. That’s going to make your life a lot easier.
