About this course

This module is the third part in a three-part series from the “Project Manager” learning path. This series of modules will give you the knowledge and insight you need to effectively manage a PI System implementation. I will guide you all the way from OSIsoft introductions, to planning, implementation and adoption.

In this third part in the series, we will complete our PI System implementation plan by considering and recording important aspects of the process into the Gantt chart template provided. Aspects such as pre-installation checks, AF modelling and preparing your users for the PI System. You will also gain a better understanding of utilizing the customer portal to download install kits and generate licenses, as well as begin thinking about preparing your internal processes and support structures (for example software deployment and team training).

We hope you enjoy the module and please don’t hesitate to get in touch with any comments or feedback.
