Resource Management
Maximize the return from your people
CA Clarity PPM enables organizations to gain optimal results from their most valuable asset -- their people. To speed time-to-results, companies must quickly find the right people and form cross-departmental teams to resolve complex problems. With a limited number of skilled people available, organizations must optimize their processes for staffing teams and include people from different regions to assure that all requirements are met. Maximizing resource utilization through capacity planning reduces organizational costs while delivering successful programs.
CA Clarity PPM enables organizations to:
- Allocate the right people at the right time
- Balance resource capacity and project demand
- Manage resource requests and staffing
- Identify and track key skills and experience.
Allocate the Right People at the Right Time
Quickly search for and select qualified people based on availability and/or skills across the entire global organization.
Balance Resource Capacity and Project Demand
View portfolio summaries that contain resource demand and project status by organizational breakdown structure (OBS) hierarchies such as geography, departments, project type and resource roles. Conduct a "what-if" type analysis on projects to see how demand requirements change.
Manage Resource Requests and Staffing
Communicate resource requirements to resource managers in an efficient and orderly manner. Give resource managers the tools needed to locate and deploy people with the right skills from both internal and external sources to meet the business need and to communicate with them during the entire process.
Identify and Track Key Skills and Experience
Confront the challenge of realizing the full potential of your skilled resources by tracking, categorizing and organizing skills. Quickly identify the optimum resources available for each work effort.
