The All Issues portlet displays all Issues related to active projects that the logged in user has view rights to. The portlet provides the project manager a single place to view issues across multiple projects without having to go into each project individually, and allows for more efficient management and reporting across projects. The filter then allows the user to narrow their search by Issue ID, Issue Name, Project ID, Project Name, the individual to whom the issue is assigned, and Issue Status. You may also narrow the view to display issues with a target resolution date within a certain date range, or Issues associated with a particular Category or OBS unit. Note: Only the projects that the user has viewer rights to will show up in the list. -
The All Assignments portlet displays resource assignments across multiple projects. Currently, assignment information displayed for the project, in OWB, or MSP is limited to a single project. This portlet will provide a single view of the assigned data for all assignments across multiple projects. The portlet displays project actuals and estimates from the project (datamart tables). The Days Late field is calculated by the baseline date, while the Days Old field is calculated by today's date. Note: Only the projects that the user has viewer rights to will show up in the list. Filters provide the PM, RM, and individual resource the ability to monitor work progress across multiple projects. For example: ~ PMs can filter for all assignments that were to be completed by a given date but still have "Started" or "Not Started" status. ~ If multiple projects are utilizing the same resource, the PM or RM can filter for assignments utilizing that specific resource to prevent over-utilization. ~ A resource may filter for all assignments assigned to them, providing a picture of their total body of work. -

The Key Tasks & Milestone Status report delivers comprehensive visibility into task and milestone performance through intuitive Start Date and Finish Date visualizations. It consolidates critical execution details, including task status, WBS type, and associated attributes such as project name, project manager, overall project status, and task completion percentage. The report supports dynamic filtering across multiple dimensions, including projects, OBS path, OBS type, task status, and WBS type, enabling targeted analysis and rapid insight. Interactive dashboards facilitate effective tracking, monitoring, and governance of tasks and milestones across the projects. -
The Project Status Detail report provides a comprehensive view of each project’s key elements, including team allocations, major milestones, risks, issues, and change requests. It highlights the most relevant project indicators to give stakeholders a clear understanding of project health and progress. This report supports detailed tracking and review of project performance across multiple dimensions. -

The movement from managing technology organizations and development by Products instead of Projects has grown in recent years. This has many advantages, but only if there are critical changes in defining and funding the development. First, we shift from defining specific solutions to developing and defining the outcomes we want to accomplish with that development. Second, we should rethink how we fund development. Instead of funding a specific scope of work, we should fund the capacity to develop products. -
PMOs/EPMOs are feeling some pressure from Agile disruptors in their organizations. Some Agile purists insist that they can do everything with an Agile tool and no PMO governance, but this really isn’t the case. If you belong to a PMO or EPMO, this session will help you to better collaborate with your Agile counterparts in finding better and more holistic solutions to value delivery. -
The Populate Prior Periods Forecast From Actuals in Cost Plans process updates Cost Plans for Active Projects, it updates the Forecast for previous months = Posted Actuals, to remove variances from past periods. This is an On Demand process in Clarity named Populate Prior Periods Forecast From Actuals in Cost Plans and can be manually executed from the Organizer or scheduled through the “Execute a Process” job. If there are number of processes in the Organizer – Available Processes, this process can be filtered and then checked to Start. When the process is started it will be seen in the Initiated on the Processes tab. The process status can be monitored from Running to the Completed stage. The process is very flexible and supports Cost Plans with any given grouping and it also works without any dependency on timeslices or other jobs. The process fetches Cost plan of records for all active projects in the system that have Actuals transactions in WIP table. It then process those cost plans to update all of the prior monthly forecast periods with the corresponding monthly Actuals. -
