  • Gaining adoption with Clarity can sometimes feel daunting. However, there are some great best practices and lessons that have been learned that drive successful and easy adoption! Come to this session and learn from your peers about better and easier adoption practices. This roundtable will be moderated and give you some great ideas to take home! We will have an expert panel and then divide into small groups and discuss customer selected topics - 100% sharing.
  • Do you need to increase user adoption? Participate in this interactive discussion on the best practices for energizing your user base and increasing Clarity value perception.
  • A presentation slide deck from Rego University 2022.   This document reviews the issues around tool adoption and strategies to overcome them.
    • The Perception of Adoption
    • Top 5 Signs That You May Have Low Adoption
    • What is Adoption
    • Survey – What is Your State of Adoption
    • Keys to Success – What We Have Seen
  • The Adoption Dashboard is designed to enhance data integrity and project tracking within Clarity by providing insights into how well users are populating and managing their project and resource data. Features: · Project Data Quality Evaluate the accuracy of project status reporting, risk, issue tracking, and schedule adherence. · Resource Data Quality Assess how well resource managers are managing timesheets, allocations, and actual utilization. · Adoption Scoring View Rate the consistency of data entry across projects and resources on a scale of 0-5, helping identify areas needing improvement. · Variance Analysis View Track discrepancies in project schedules, effort, budgets, and resource commitments. · Compliance Monitoring Ensure that all necessary project and resource data is up-to-date, aiding in more informed decision-making and better project outcomes.
  • Rego’s Clarity Adoption Metrics package consists of two sets of metrics: Project metrics, and Resource metrics. Project metrics measure how effectively project managers are using Clarity to manage their projects. Resource metrics measure how effectively resource managers are using Clarity to manage resources. Metrics are scored on a scale of 0 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater adoption and use. All metrics can be viewed numerically or graphically, and can be broken out by OBS. In addition, metric data can display as a 12-month rolling history to help identify trends. Project metrics can also display by lowest / highest adoption rates for a specific resource metric or all resource metrics. There is a variety of way to view the Adoption Metric data, therefore, Rego has made this simple by creating an Adoption Metrics object that contains multiple tabs.  Each tab displays one or more of the Project or Resource Adoption Metrics.  Based on the nature of the Metrics some tabs will allow the ability to use a pull down menu to select a specific Adoption Metric.   There is also a Metrics trending view that pulls monthly snapshots of the metrics. Project metrics consist of the following:
    • Project Status Reporting – Measures how well PMs create and publish project status reports.
    • Project Risk Adoption – Measures how well Risks are being used and managed.
    • Project Issue Adoption – Measures how well Issues are being used and managed.
    • Project Schedule – Measures how well PMs create tasks and keep the project schedule current.
    • Project Baseline – Measures whether or not baselines exist.
    • Project Zero ETC’s – Measures how well the PM assigns resources to tasks with ETCs.
    • Project Past ETC’s – Measures how many improperly scheduled tasks the PM has.
    • Project Milestone / Key Tasks – Measures how well PMs create and manage Milestones / Key Tasks.
    • Project Schedule Variance – Measures how effectively PMs manage their schedules.
    • Project Effort Variance – Measures how effectively PMs manage their project efforts.
    • Project Budget Variance – Measures how effectively PMs manage budgets or cost plans.
    • Project Unfilled Roles – Measures project roles with allocations that are already started or starting within the next 30 days.
    • Project Data Quality – Measures how effectively PMs complete the Description, Stage, Progress, Objective, and Sponsor/Business Owner fields.
    • Project Commitment – Measures the hard allocations for a project over a two week time frame.
    Resource Metrics consist of the following:
    • Resource Clarity Usage – Measures how often users log into Clarity.
    • Resource Timesheet – Measures if timesheets post in a timely manner.
    • Resource Allocation – Measures how well RMs keep total resource allocations within the expected range for future time periods.
    • Resource Actualy Utilization – Measures how well Resource allocations match actuals.
    • Resource Allocation Date in the Past – Measures how many resources are open for time entry with dates in the past.
    • Resource Data Quality – Measures how well RMs complete the Resource Manager and Primary Role fields and optionally the Skill and Employment Type fields.
    • Resource Commitment – Measures how much resource available time is committed to projects.

  • “Real” Resource management is not for the faint of heart. To get a solid picture of the actual capacity multiple dimensions have to be considered: projects, daily business, absences, different work hours and more. In this session we will demonstrate how this can be done with the help of “Advanced Resource Planning” in Clarity. We will staff projects in seconds, simulate different options, jog new projects in and finally simulate the resource aspect of whole Roadmaps.

  • The All Lookups and Attributes portlet provides the ability to see all static lookups in the system, as well as their lookup values. Ability to filter and view the population by lookup name and ID, value name and ID, whether or not the item is active, and whether or not the item is a system (seeded) value.  A system value is a record that comes with a base installation of Clarity as opposed to a value that was added manually or through a Clarity Add-in.

  • The Audit Trail portlet displays information about audited attributes.  It is nearly identical to the view and functionality of the “Global Audit Trail” offering on the admin side.  It offers filters for the Object ID (resource internal id, project internal id, etc.), Object Name (Jim Brown, Project A, etc.), Changed By, a date range for the changed date and the operation of the change.  It is capable of reporting on the following:
    • Object (Resource, Project, etc.)
    • Object Name (Jim Brown, Project A, etc.)
    • Parent Name (if the object were a sub-object)
    • Attribute code (the attribute id from the attributes list on the object)
    • Operation (Update, Insert, Delete)
    • Changed By
    • Old Value
    • New Value
    • Date Changed
  • The Auto-Approve Old Timesheets workflow process can be run through the "Execute a Process" job and may be used to quickly close out timesheets for a specified timeframe for period closure.  The workflow will execute a query that will automatically approve ALL (no matter the status of the timesheet) timesheets that have a time period start date before the Approve Date specified within the process itself.
