How to Define the Resource Effort for a Requirement

A requirement can have multiple resource roles. For example, a development requirement needs a manager role, a designer role, a developer role, and a quality assurance role. You can associate resource roles with a requirement and can estimate the amount of effort it takes for each role to complete the requirement.

Important! Ensure that the roles are already defined in CA Clarity™ Agile.

Before you define the resource effort, add resource roles that are required to complete the requirement. If you are not the requirement owner, you cannot add roles only.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Requirements, and from Detailed Planning, click Requirements.
2. Select the requirement and click Details.
3. Add Resource Role.
   • In the Role section of the detail page, click Add Role.
   • Select the roles that you want to add for the requirement and click Add.
   • The roles appear in the Roles section list for the requirement.
4. Specify Estimated Hours.
   • In the Role section, locate the role and click in the Labor Effort column on the row, and enter the full-time estimated hours.
5. Save your changes.
