  • This session will align you with best practices for using Clarity's resource management functionality. Come and learn about the OOTB capabilities for resource insights like allocations, assignments, availability, and more. Additionally, tips and tricks will be shared, providing you with a toolkit of ideas for your organization!
  • A presentation slide deck from Rego University 2022.   This document reviews the best practices for resource management in Clarity.
    • Implementation
    • Availability
    • Allocation
    • Assignment
    • Reporting
    • Notification
    • Data Maintenance
     
  • This Tech Trick walks you through the steps in CA PPM to make Bulk Role replacements on tasks.   Useful when you want to make the changes to the project template which has a large WBS structure, and a lot of role assignments to tasks.
  • 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 Capacity Graph portlet displays Availability, Allocations, Actuals and Assignments for one or more active resource(s) in a single view. This portlet pulls data from timeslices, and allows the user to filter on a weekly, monthly or quarterly data.  The Estimated Time to Complete (ETC) and Allocation data will only show for projects that are active. This portlet provides Resource Managers, PMOs and Executives with a simple way to analyse:  Allocations vs. Availability, Allocations vs. Actuals, Allocations vs. ETC and ETC vs. Availability.  The graph allows the user to determine where areas of improvement may exist and quickly identify potential areas of constraint. Note: the information displayed is dependent on what the user has security rights to view.

  • Capacity Graph report provides the Resource Managers & PMO a single place to view Monthly Availability, Allocations, Actuals and Assignments for one or more active resources. Information is displayed in the form of a line chart. Legend displays the color associated with each metric. Mouse over the line chart displays hours associated with that corresponding metric. This report provides Managers a simple means to analyze: Allocations vs. Availability, Allocations vs. Actuals, Allocations vs. ETC and ETC vs. Availability and helps in determining the areas of improvement. User can further narrow their search by OBS Type & Path, Month Start Date, Resource Name, Resource Manager, Primary Role & Employment Type.
  • Capacity Graph report displays Availability, Allocations, Actuals and Assignments for one or more active resource(s) in a single view.  Report contains the following components: KPIs: Displays Available hours, Allocation + ETC for filtered criteria. Bar graph: Displays Allocation + ETC by primary role Line chart: Displays Availability, Allocations, Actuals and Assignments by time period. This portlet provides Resource Managers, PMOs and Executives with a simple way to analyze: Allocations vs. Availability, Allocations vs. Actuals, Allocations vs. ETC and ETC vs. Availability. User can further narrow their search by OBS Type & Path, Resource Manager, Primary Role, Start and End Date.
  • The Capacity Planning by Primary Application portlet displays the capacity and demand by primary application for a selected timeframe. This portlet is used to determine which applications are in high demand, being used efficiently, and how much capacity may be remaining for the time period. The portlet may be filtered by application name, resource OBS or project OBS to narrow the results. The timeframe can be set to display daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually.

  • This portlet pulls back the Availability and Allocation totals by Role between a user-specified Start and Finish Date, then the user can drilldown to look at the information for Applications.  The Time Period filter allows for comparing these values across different timeframes (monthly, weekly, quarterly, annual) as desired.  Other filters allow for looking at Active or Inactive Roles (or both) and including Active or Inactive Projects (or both) in the totals.

  • The Capacity Planning by Role and Skill portlet displays all availability and demand in the system summarized by role.  The portlet also allows the user to drill-down further into the role and separate the hours by primary skill.  This portlet leverages the timeslices, and pulls availability from resources and allocation from the team records. The user is able to narrow the results by filtering on start/finish date, time period, active projects, and active resources.  Using this portlet, a resource manager can quickly determine resource needs, skill needs, and overall allocation/availability of roles.

  • The Capacity vs. Demand by Resource report displays resource capacity and demand at the resource level across investments. The report gives you visibility into the capacity, demand, and remaining capacity by resource. The report displays amounts by week or month, and in total. The amounts might be displayed as hours or FTEs. Report Prerequisites: Verify that you have completed the following prerequisites before you run this report: • The Load Data Warehouse job must be run before you run this report. If the Data Warehouse is not populated, the report will not display any data. Also, most of the report parameters do not display options. • Resource demand allocation amounts display if the resource is allocated to at least one investment and the report display type of hours as allocations. Resource demand assignment amounts display if the resource is assigned to at least one task on the investment and the report displays type of hours as assignments.
