  • The Global Action Items portlet will help users and clarity admins to keep track of action items in the CA PPM system. This is useful to keep track of Timesheet Approval through Action Item or any other Action Item related workflows. The portlet displays Name, Type Assignee, Created by, Due Date, Health and Status of the Action Items as default columns. The portlet provides  Project, Project Manager, Project OBS, Assignee, Status and Due Dates of the Action Items as default filters.
  • The Investment Resource Rate portlet allows a user to search for effective (or missing) rates for resources across all investment types.  It pulls rate information from the matrix extraction tables and includes currency conversion if the environment supports multiple currencies. The portlet can be used both to search for the rate of any given resource and to determine which resources might be missing rates when an error is generated when attempting to populate a cost plan (REVMGR-20728:Rates and Costs are both missing for one or more roles/resources).  
  • The Timesheets by Resource portlet gives the ability to highlight the time periods where resources are working overtime or working less than 25 hours a week. The filter requires timesheet Start Date and End Date to be provided. Additionally, the information can be filtered by Resource, Resource ID, OBS Unit, Employment Type, Resource Manager, Open for Time, and Active status. This portlet displays Resource, Resource ID, Active (yes/no), Employment Type, Primary Role, Resource Manager, and Timesheet Hours Flag. The flags are set with the logic
    • Yellow = timesheets not posted / zero hour timesheets
    • Green = where number of hours posted is > 25 and less than 45
    • Red = where number of hours posted is < 25 or > 45
    The thresholds can, of course, be modified.

  • Project managers may use this portlet to show the planned effort and the remaining effort on projects.  Includes actual hours as well as estimate at completion. You may narrow the results by filtering by project name, project manager, project OBS, or active flag. The portlet will display each project by ID, name, project manager, planned effort (total allocation hours), actual hours, remaining effort (ETC), and estimate at complete (actual + ETC).
  • The My Resource Count by Project portlet displays project information, total team count and the current user’s resource count assigned to each project. The user may narrow the results by filtering on project name, manager, status, team count, managed resource count or percentage managed resource count. Using this portlet, resource managers can quickly identify which projects their resources are allocated to without having to navigate to each resource individually. Not only does this portlet display the overall team count on the project (team count), but it also displays the managed resource count (logged in user’s number of resources allocated to the project) as well as the percentage of managed resource count to team count.
  • The Invalid Transactions portlet displays all of the transactions that did/will not post in Clarity. The benefit of this portlet is that you can use the filter to select a specific project, resource, or error to display all transactions associated to your selection. There are several reasons a transaction may fail to post such as inactive resource, no location or inactive location selected on the Financial sub-page, project on hold, etc. To resolve the error, the user must go into the project or resource and make the noted change. Once all corrections are complete, the  Post Transactions to Financials job must be run to evaluate the corrected WIP transactions to be sure the data is now complete and accurate. If additional incorrect data is found, the transaction will fail to post again and the new error/reason will display.

  • Would you like to get an overview of the fundamentals of Agile? This session will dispel the misconceptions of Agile and provide an understanding and definition of terms such as “bi-modal”, “Scrum”, “Kanban”, “weighted shortest job first” and “SAFe”. We will also talk about how Clarity fits into the Agile discussion and provide thoughts and practices on how PMOs are responding to this trending methodology.
  • Agile metrics can be very different from traditional waterfall metrics. This session will walk through some of the key Agile metrics describing how and why they are used. Effective methods in reporting and sharing will also be covered.
  • Agile is here to stay, but waterfall may be as well. Companies around the world struggle with living in a bimodal development world, while trying to go through an agile transformation. This session will discuss best practices and lessons learned within companies that have gone through agile transformations. We will also review SAFe as a potential approach.
  • A presentation by the Broadcom leadership on the meaning of ValueOps and the future of Clarity and Rally.
