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. -
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. -
This portlet displays the monthly allocation per resource. The PM can view by the RM or the resource to get the data for monthly resource allocations.

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. -
The Missing Time by OBS portlet displays all missing or late timesheets for resources staffed within a specific OBS. Resources will be included if they are open for time entry, have the track mode of ‘Clarity’ and have a timesheet that is not posted. The portlet accommodates for hire and termination dates. Also, the portlet only shows resources that the active user has the security rights to view. Administrators and the Project Management Office may use this portlet to determine the timesheet status of all resources within a specific OBS in open time periods. This portlet allows a user to quickly search by OBS and view all timesheets under that area. After selecting the OBS, the user can also filter on time period start date, Resource Manager and/or Project Manager. The portlet will display a ‘Stop Light’ indicator based on timesheet status, the status, period start, Resource Name, Resource Manager and any actual hours entered for the timesheet. -
The Executive Dashboard portlet displays information regarding projects the user has security rights to view. It provides a one-stop place for the PMO or management to view all critical information about projects. The portlet not only displays status indicators as well as dates for late items, variances and days late, but also displays the project status fields from the Status Report sub-object. -
The Dashboard: Baseline Comparison portlet compares multiple baselines on a single project. The portlet is added to the dashboard page of a project and will pull in both baselines for that project and perform a comparison between the two. This portlet provides a quick way for project managers to view the differences between their baselines, especially if they have multiple members updating the project. -

The Capacity Graph - Investment portlet displays Availability, Allocations, Assignments and Actuals for active resources in a single project. This portlet pulls from timeslices and allows the user to filter on weekly, monthly, or quarterly data. This portlet provides a Project Manager with a simple way to analyse: Allocations vs. Actuals and Allocations vs. ETC. Depending on metric goals, the graph allows the user to determine where areas of improvement may exist. -
The All Risks portlet displays all risks related to active projects that the logged in user has view rights to access. The portlet provides the project manager a single place to view risks across multiple projects without having to go into each project individually, and allows for more efficient management and reporting across projects. The portlet displays Project ID, Project, Risk ID, Risk, Category, Assigned to, Status, Probability, Impact, Priority, Target Resolution Date, and Days opened. The filter allows narrowing down of the risks by several different criteria. Note: Only the projects that the user has viewer rights to see will show up in the list. -
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 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. -

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. -
