Strategic planning and control with Clarity PPM
Clarity PPM can be used to define corporate goals and strategies, derive initiatives and determine programs. These can then be implemented with demands, projects and resources as part of portfolio planning. Available budgets and resources, open demands, dependencies and other factors are taken into account and optimally planned.
Budget, plan and actual data are available on a daily basis - highly aggregated from the individual project task to the company target. This allows target achievement, budget requirements and adjustments as well as resource utilization and bottlenecks to be identified and analyzed at all levels - from top management to the individual project teams.
This ensures that all activities, projects and plans are aligned with the company's objectives and that all company resources are used in a targeted manner!
