That’s quite a jump in version numbers! But remain calm, all is well. It turns out that the huge change in version numbers is not indicative of major changes – or improvements – to Primavera P6.
What’s behind the digital doubling of version numbers? A new strategy within Oracle to better indicate to customers which versions of their portfolio of project management software tools work together. For instance, Unifier will also be version 15.1. Oracle characterizes the real difference in Primavera 8.1 vs. Primavera 15.1 “as a minor upgrade, similar to going from 8.3 to 8.4, with no structural changes.”
This is a good first step in the rationalization of Primavera’s software versioning. Who can forget the unfathomable naming convention of P6v7 SP2 from 2010? I’ve never understood Primavera’s naming and versioning conventions.

For a history lesson on this, I went to the fount of all knowledge of the history of Primavera, Mr. Ron Winter, and asked him what P6 stood for. Does it have any meaning? In part, Ron said:
P3 is shorthand for Primavera Project Planner. P6 was created later and is a completely separate product. P6 came about because the Marketing Geniuses at Primavera renamed the 32-bit software product almost every year, and no one knew what to call it anymore. Even their website and ordering platforms called the product by different names at the same time. Many thought that several products existed.
Out of desperation, customers started calling it P5 because Version 5 was the current version. The name stuck, and when the next version came out, Primavera bowed to the inevitable and called it P6.
Ron is showing his typical restraint, and not really telling us what is on his mind…
