By its very nature, the shift to Product Funding is going to require that tracking of that funding. Agile tools do not have much, if any, financial capabilities, so it is important to create an eco-system that can support this value stream—from funding, through delivery, and finally to tracking the realization of financial value. Learn how Rally and Clarity PPM do this very well together. -
Do you want to understand the OOTB configuration and functionality of project management?

You are no longer regulated to the desktop browser to respond to action items. Learn how Rego solved this problem using just your email. We’ll talk about various use cases where you would get maximum benefit from a simple response on an action item directly from your email. It doesn’t matter if you are using email on your desktop, laptop, phone or tablet. The Action Item Responder as you covered. -
This portlet displays the % allocation of resources to projects. The portlet shows if the resource is allocated to the projects as an individual resource or as part of an Agile team, in which case it will display the resource % allocation to the team and what that will represent in terms of % allocation to the project. The Total Allocation % display the allocation of the resource to all investments is allocated to. Remaining Capacity and Over/Under columns will help identify the resources that still have availability and the ones that are over allocated. -

Bar Chart displays average percent variance for all active projects by OBS unit. Percent variance = Planned Cost - Budgeted Cost / Budgeted Cost * 100. Projects with no Budgeted Cost are ignored for the calculation. Then all project variance percentages are algebraically added (some may be negative), and divided by total projects with a variance. This yields the Average Percent Variance. This calculation is performed for active projects in each OBS unit. OBS units include all units at all levels where projects are attached. Portlet filterable by OBS, Financial Status, and Financially Approved. Vertical axis = OBS Unit Name. Horizontal axis = Variance Percent. Data value = Average Percent Variance. Mouseover value = OBS Name + Average Variance Percent. -

Pie Chart Portlet displays counts of active projects with various Stale ratings. Calculation is Percent Stale Tasks = number of open (not completed) tasks with a finish date over 15 days old, divided by total open tasks. Filterable by OBS structure and project manager. Data label = project count. Mouse-over and Legend labels = stale rating. More than 90% Stale means 90 to 100% of open tasks on a project have finish dates older than 15 days. More than 71% Stale means 71 to 89% of open tasks on a project have finish dates older than 15 days. 0 - 70% Stale means fewer than 70% of open tasks on a project have finish dates older than 15 days. -

The Milestone Task Dependency portlet shows the milestone task dependency count and has a drilldown to the details. The portlet looks at the dependency impact on milestones, and is not limited to just dependencies that are on different projects. The lag days calculation is based off of the maximum dependency impact and the drilldown portlet (Milestone Task Dependency Details :::: rego_milestone_dependency_det)shows the details for each. -
