Primavera is an enterprise project portfolio management software. It includes project management, scheduling, risk analysis, opportunity management, resource management, collaboration and control capabilities, and integrates with other enterprise software such as Oracle and SAP’s ERP systems.

In addition, it is the tool of choice for power users, such as schedulers and project managers, in industries where detailed, fast, accurate scheduling and the critical path method are crucial to the planning, execution and success of a project.
