CA Clarity™ PPM for NPD: Project and Resource Management
High performance innovators report an overall project success rate of close to 70%. By contrast, the worst performers report a nearly 60% project failure rate. It is no surprise, then, that project and program management consistently ranks first among software applications deemed critical to support new product development.
What makes this process challenging is that idea-to-launch management encompasses complex cross-functional teams including sales, marketing, engineering, research & development, finance, manufacturing, and logistics and operations departments. To serve everyone, you need a comprehensive solution that delivers all program, project, resource and financial information via tools and views that are tailored to the needs of each group and user. Ideally, this is also fully integrated with your idea-to-launch and portfolio and pipeline management processes.
CA Clarity PPM for NPD provides rich project, resource and knowledge management for cross-functional product development teams. Wherever they are, whatever they do, your team members will have easy access to the information and resources they need to get their tasks and deliverables completed on time.
