Automatic Project Creation

Once you provide idea gate approval, CA Clarity PPM Accelerator for NPD automatically performs the following actions:

• Converts the idea to a fully configured project plan that adds the following capabilities to the project:
  • A folder structure for documents
  • The work breakdown schedule (WBS) consisting of five automated stages and gates
  • Gate review
  • Product alignment
• All the fields on the idea having corresponding fields on the project are copied.
• The project process can be running.
• The first two stages of the NPD investment process (Idea Capture and Scoping) are marked as complete.
