CA Clarity PPM for Project & Portfolio Management

Why Manage Projects?

The world depends increasingly on the successful conception, design and delivery of projects. Whether it's developing new software, producing a new range of fridges or refitting the office, the governing disciplines are still the same.

Projects have a finite beginning and end, consume resources and deliver benefits - their successful implementation is vital to every company's success. But...

• How do we decide which projects should run?
  • Those which deliver the highest value?
  • Those with the lowest risk?
• How do we prioritise them?
• Do we have the resources required?

These are straightforward questions but, in many organisations, generate answers that are anything but straightforward.

CA Clarity PPM, the world-leading portfolio management software, enables managers to compare portfolios of programmes, projects and assets, based on real-time information, provided on browser-based, enterprise software, configured to meet their individual requirements.

Control and Predictability

• Portfolio Management is about selecting the right things to do.
• Project and Programme Management are about doing them right.

Clarity marries the strategic to the tactical. It couples top-down portfolio planning and analysis with bottom-up project, program, financial and process management.

Clarity PPM:

• Gives executives a real-time view into their organisation's investments, initiatives and resources
• Links Portfolio Management to Project, Programme and Initiative management
• Empowers managers to deliver controlled and predictable execution of projects and programs
• Ensures that the decisions from Portfolio Management are not undermined by poor execution

The result is a seamlessly integrated system for:

• IT Governance (ITG)
• New Product Development (NPD)
• Professional Services Automation (PSA)
