The project office then uses the CA system to validate resource availability based on a capacity plan. Once a project is approved, the project manager gathers a team and allocates tasks based on available resources.

Project management then follows capability maturity model integration (CMMI) standards. For increased flexibility, teams can use reporting tools to extract and consolidate data from the CA Clarity PPM repository for advanced project monitoring throughout the project lifecycle.

CA Clarity PPM was initially deployed to 120 development professionals, was extended to 90 users in the data centre, and then implemented to the project management team.

The system provides a single data repository and a common language to all users. It includes advanced metrics and dashboards to ensure users focus on common priorities and can rely on accurate, timely decision making, said CA.
