Artificial Intelligence (AI) has arrived—and it's not just penning poems for my daughter anymore. From advisory boards to site offices, AI is edging into our workflows, whispering promises of insight, automation, and foresight.

My view? It’s here in narrow but powerful ways—and it’s changing how we think about effectiveness, risk, and delivery certainty. But we need to move past awe or anxiety and start using it with clarity and purpose.

In P6 Version 20 and earlier users could not see the time when setting a date when the User Preferences were set not to show the time. Often when setting an Actual Start of Finish date, Suspend or Resume date, constraints dates etc. P6 would pick an irrelevant time such as midnight. This is because P6 does not have the feature of Default Start time or Default Finish time found in other products like Microsoft Project.
The aim of this paper is to explain the main functional changes that users will see in the Oracle Primavera P6 PPM V21.12 added since the release of P6 PPM V20.12.
