Working with Teams Across Portfolios

Task Boards for a Shared Understanding
Create a visual task list on the Clarity PPM (formerly CA Project Portfolio Management) task boards. This project portfolio management software provides your own process flow, assign staff to tasks and prioritize work. Keep all team members in synch and share your plans with other groups and executives.
Scoreboards to Gamify Team Work
Easily track team tasks against delivery dates to proactively ensure you deliver on-time. Gamify work to drive team productivity and personal fulfillment. Make it fun and let developers update work status with a click.
Familiar Financials for Deeper Analysis
The ability to easily access, view and modify project data is key to ensuring budgets are well spent. Clarity PPM’s financial planning pages have been redesigned to mimic Microsoft Excel® spreadsheets in both look and feel. Connect this project portfolio management software to your favorite BI software, including Power BI and Tableau.
The Right Team for the Job with Modern Resource Management
Information about worker allocations should be at your fingertips. Clarity PPM provides one consolidated view of each employee’s project queue and their schedule. Managers explore staffing options with telescoping and pinning features that replace outdated filtering and matching tools.
