CA Clarity™ PPM for Project & Portfolio Management
In order to effectively manage your projects, you must make sure that your strategic investments are in alignment with corporate priorities, and that the success of your projects can be measured and communicated according to the goals established at the beginning. With corporate priorities continually evolving due to rapidly changing market conditions, strategic project management becomes daunting, if not impossible, without a centralized project and portfolio management system.
CA Clarity™ PPM solves many of these issues by facilitating a stronger relationship between your IT department and your business units. It provides a single system of record for jointly defining corporate priorities and aligning investments accordingly. Whether you use it to manage your IT budget or your R&D product portfolio, its centralized approach to managing incoming demand, projects, and resources ensures that you get the highest potential return from your strategic spending. Project and Portfolio Management also provides you with a structured environment for establishing portfolio criteria, taking inventory of assets, developing plans and what-if scenarios, and communicating strategic decisions and subsequent performance to stakeholders based upon extensive analysis and scorecard features.
CA Clarity PPM’s integration of strategic portfolio execution and assessment functionality empowers your managers to understand, in real-time, how decisions affect portfolio performance. This gives them the opportunity to develop and deploy best practices for the next round of portfolio planning. Selection criteria can be adjusted and reprioritized, new ideas can be weighed against existing investments, and new decisions can be effectively communicated, all within days or weeks rather than quarters or years.
