Project Templates

The PPM Essentials Accelerator includes the following project templates you can use to convert an idea to a project or to create a new project:

• Development Template (MSP). Use this template if Microsoft Project is your project scheduler.
• Development Template (OWB). Use this template if Open Workbench is your project scheduler.

To change the default scheduler for a template, select the other scheduler from the Scheduler Format drop-down menu on the Create Project page.

The templates use the PPM Essentials Dashboard view for displaying all the portlets that provide a quick update on specific project metrics.

All the fields on the templates are standard to CA Clarity PPM project templates.

See the Project Management User Guide for more information.

These PPM Essentials project templates include the following that can be modified to suit your business needs:

• A work breakdown structure for creating project tasks.
• The following folders for storing project documents in the Collaboration page:
  • Design Deliverables
  • Project Management
