Get more out of Primavera P6 in less time.
PlanIQ is an Excel add-in that reads your XER or P6 database and turns it into health checks, lookaheads, baseline variance and EVM curves — the analysis you'd otherwise rebuild by hand every update cycle.
PlanIQ for Excel
Pick a source — an XER export or your P6 Professional database — and every tool works off the same data. Generic by design: no project-specific templates, no hardcoded codes.
Schedule Health Check
14-point quality check against common DCMA-style thresholds, with every failing activity listed so you can fix it before submission.
Guide →Lookahead Generator
2, 3 or 4-week lookaheads from the data date, filtered by WBS, area or responsibility, critical path highlighted.
Guide →EVM & S-curve
Planned, earned and actual curves with SPI, CPI, SV and CV by period — ready for the monthly progress report.
Guide →Baseline Compare
Start, finish, duration and float variance between the current update and any baseline, sorted by movement.
Guide →Float & Driving Path
Trace the longest path and near-critical paths to any milestone, with total and free float side by side.
Guide →Update Manager
PlanIQ checks this site for new releases and shows what changed before you install. No manual hunting for builds.
Guide →Latest PlanIQ release
The same feed the in-tool Update Manager reads. Install from here or from PlanIQ › Help › Check for Updates.

PlanIQ is built by a planning engineer working with Primavera P6, delay analysis and EVM on construction projects in the UAE. Every feature started as a spreadsheet that got rebuilt one update cycle too many.
