About Project Management

Projects are sets of activities designed to achieve a specific objective. Their key elements are tasks that define project work and staff members - the resources who perform them. Time and budget constraints guide projects. The constraints estimate and determine how long each task and, therefore, the entire project take and how much it costs.

Use CA Clarity PPM projects to define and track each aspect of your project from tasks and staff to budgets, actuals, and risks. In addition, you can create master projects that group related subprojects. The master projects let you view and analyze the combined costs, estimates, and actuals of their sub projects.

Projects are used as the example investment. Project functionality and components apply to all investments that are based on the project, such as proposals.
