CA Clarity PPM for Project & Portfolio Management

To manage projects effectively, strategic investments should be in alignment with corporate priorities, so resources are not wasted in delivering projects that are either outdated or irrelevant.

Equally, it's important that the success of a project can be measured, according to an agreed set of goals (ideally established before it begins). With corporate priorities often changing at short notice, to be in accord with rapidly-shifting market conditions, strategic project management becomes daunting, if not impossible, without a centralised project and portfolio management system.

Clarity PPM helps solve many of these issues, by facilitating a stronger relationship between development departments and business units. It provides a single system of record for jointly defining corporate priorities and aligning investments accordingly.

Clarity is Used in Many Ways, in Many Types of Organisation

Whether it's used to manage an IT budget, marketing initiatives or the R&D product portfolio, Clarity's centralised approach to managing demand, projects and resources ensures that the highest potential return is made from from your strategic spending.

Project and Portfolio Management also provides 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.

Clarity PPM’s integration of strategic portfolio execution and assessment functionality empowers 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 reprioritised, 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.
