PRINCE2 Accelerator Overview

CA Clarity PPM Accelerator for PRINCE2 (PRINCE2 Accelerator) is an add-in that consists of a set of dashboards, portlets, subpages, and processes that allow you to reflect your interpretation and implementation of the PRINCE2 project management methodology. This add-in provides a subset of all the forms from the official PRINCE2 content provided by the Office of Government Commerce (OGC).

Go to http://www.ogc.gov.uk/methods_prince_2.asp for more information about the PRINCE2 methodology.

Note: To download additional PRINCE2 document templates for free, go to http://www.prince2.com/prince2-downloads.asp.

The PRINCE2 Accelerator includes the PRINCE2 Project Template. Associate the projects with this template to access the following project subpages exclusive to PRINCE2:

• PRINCE2™
• Product Description
• Project Initiation Document
• Stage Plan
• Checkpoint Report
• Highlight Report
• Exception Report
• End Stage Report
• Lessons Learned Report

The PRINCE2 project management methodology is a product-based planning approach. With the PRINCE2 Accelerator, you can track the progress of project tasks as individual products. The add-in lets you label the CA Clarity PPM project tasks as products and manage them as you would manage products in a PRINCE2 methodology.

The add-in provides a starting point to implement the PRINCE2 methodology into your existing project management system. Also, helps customize to the unique requirements of your organization. The content and pages that come with PRINCE2 Accelerator are configurable using Studio. You can add attributes and forms, or let the CA Technology Services (CATS) engagement manager assist you.

You can roll up PRINCE2 projects into other programs and portfolios like you can other CA Clarity PPM projects. They are displayed in various portfolio and program dashboards and dashboard layouts, and in CA Clarity PPM reports.
