A livecritical path.No scheduler required.
Oracle Primavera P6 is the scheduling suite behind large infrastructure programs, and it comes with a planning department to run it. You are a commercial builder. You want to know whether the critical path moved this week without waiting for a scheduler to rebuild the baseline. POD reads the daily reports and schedule files your team already files and, once you confirm the period, gives you the critical path, CPI, SPI, and EAC from that record.
- Critical path from your own files. POD reads uploaded P6 (XER) and MS Project (XML export) schedules and keeps milestones, float, and critical path in view.
- CPI, SPI, and EAC, confirmed. POD derives all three from your confirmed cost and schedule inputs, one calculation, every surface, once the period is confirmed.
- No planning department. The project manager confirms the period; the field keeps doing the reporting it already does.
- Pricing you can read. POD starts at $269/month, published, self-serve, and quote-free.
Oracle Primavera P6 is enterprise project and portfolio scheduling software built for large, complex programs run by dedicated planners and schedulers. Plan of Day (POD) is for commercial contractors and owners who want a live critical path and confirmed CPI, SPI, and EAC drawn from the daily reports and schedule files their team already files, with no planning department.

Rebuild the Gantt, or confirm the week
On the left, field updates pile up until the cycle comes around, a planner re-baselines by hand, every bar redraws at once, and the chart freezes until next time. Across the divider, the field keeps filing daily reports, a project manager confirms the period, the critical path from your uploaded schedule lights up beside the field record, and the SPI settles from that one confirmed period.
POD Intelligence
The exposure and the finish date a scheduler assembles by hand.
Sample-data previews, shown with the library’s built-in defaults. On your project, the schedule and forecast surfaces read from your own confirmed record once you confirm a reporting period.
