Resource Management: Introduction

Allocating the appropriate resources to the right project teams is essential to effective resource management. CA Clarity PPM provides a flexible framework in which you can perform and monitor the following resource management activities:

• Create and edit resource profiles with important details such as:
  • employee type
  • primary role
  • skills
  • experience
• View, edit, and track resource project allocations and workloads.
• Compare resource capacity with resource demand.
• Locate resources with specific characteristics, by availability, and more.

As a resource manager, you manage the assignments of employees, contractors, and nonlabor assets. Resource managers can be temporary project leaders or full-time department heads. Project managers often use Resource Management features, such as creating requisitions and finding resources.
