Allow us to introduce ourselves:  my name is Denise Hoomes and I am a junior project controls specialist.  I have been working in project controls for about a year and a half and feel only slightly less overwhelmed now than when I first started.  Fortunately for me, the company I work for employees several experts in the field.  One of them is Cherie' Chance, PMP.  Cherie' has been working as a project controller for over 20 years and is one of the best.  She is an excellent teacher and I can guarantee that she can figure out a work around for almost any issue with Primavera (and if you've ever worked with it, you know it's a very powerful tool but perhaps not the most intuitive software invented).   Unfortunately for Cherie', she has been assigned the difficult task of mentoring me.  My hope is that you will see two different perspectives woven throughout these posts:  one from a beginner's perspective and another from a seasoned perspective and that both perspectives are beneficial to you.  Join us on this journey!
