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. -
Grid Portlet displays project and task data--including name, dates, status, effort, %Complete, and schedule. Portlet initially displays project data. But there is a + sign toggle, which, when clicked, reveals task data, and the toggle becomes a – sign. User can choose to Automatically Expand all levels from Options Icon>Configure>List Column Section>Options. Portlet supports up to 10 levels of WBS. Portlet filterable by project name and ID, OBS structure, manager name, active/inactive, and open for time entry. -
The portlet shows the Overall Status and Budget Status and Amounts. It displays one row per project. The portlet shows the following main fields: Overall Status, Budget Status, Capital Budget, Operating Budget, Total Budget, Capital Planed, Operating Planned, Total Planned, Capital Actuals, Operating Actuals, Total Actuals, Budget Variance ($), Budget Variance (%) Displaying the budget variance allows the PM to understand of the project is over / under spent, and thus the costs planning needs to be re-visited. -
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 Pending Actuals portlet displays pending actuals for resources by task. This portlet allows the user to filter on Project, Project Manager, Is Active and Is Open for Time Entry. This portlet provides Resource Managers and Project Managers a simple way to analyse which actuals have been submitted but not posted on specific tasks, as well as the aggregate pending hour total. Note: the information displayed is dependent on what the user has security rights to view. -
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). -
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 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.
