The PMO Accelerator add-in is a collection of content and view configurations designed for project portfolio management not tied to any specific industry. The PMO Accelerator provides a collection of CA Clarity PPM ready content that your organization does not have to create. The add-in enables you to support the existing program management office (PMO) operations. The add-in is useful for managing and gaining insight into portfolio, program, and project performance.
The topics describe the collection of content and include detailed information about the following included in the add-in:
The portlets provide an overall view across your projects, giving you a clear understanding of what is going on in your business.
Sample data is included with the PMO Accelerator, but only as an optional installment. The sample data includes portfolios, programs, projects, ideas, applications, assets, services, resources, resource roles, a project plan template, cost/rate matrices, and organizational breakdown structures (OBS).
The PMO Accelerator guide references the following CA Clarity PPM guides that you can review:
Install the PMO Accelerator add-in on your CA Clarity application server so that the content is available to you. See the CA Clarity PPM Installation Guide for information about installing the PMO Accelerator add-in.
Before installing the PMO Accelerator add-in, verify that the compatible version of CA Clarity PPM is installed. The PMO Accelerator installation will fail if you do not install the compatible version of CA Clarity PPM prior to installing the add-in.
Important! Review the certified and supported versions chart in the PMO Accelerator Release Notes to determine if an upgrade of CA Clarity PPM is required, or optional.
As a best practice, we recommend you back up the existing CA Clarity PPM installation directory and database before installing the add-in.
If you have previously configured the content installed by the PMO Accelerator for the following items, the configurations are not preserved. They are overwritten during installation.
