10 New Features Coming with the Clarity Release 16.0.1

1. Visual Allocation of Resources

You will benefit from the new Resource Staffing view displayed as an allocation timeline. The timeline shows an investment timeline on the top of the page, which is based on allocations either by investments or by resources. On the bottom of the page, you can see the capacity, allocations, and the remaining capacity using either the ‘Resource Availability’ or ‘Resources by Role’ view.

2. Configurable Visual Widgets

Configurable visual widgets are now available for further functional areas such as Investments (Projects, Ideas, Custom Investments), sub objects (Tasks, Risks, Issues, Changes, Staff, Baselines), and many more.

3. Improved Project Management User Experience

Managing projects in Clarity has become even simpler as you are now able to display financial and custom per-period metrics (e.g., TSV data) in Project, Idea, Custom Investment, and Hierarchy Investment grids.

4. Key Improvements through Customer Innovation Panel

Several key improvements have been delivered through Clarity customers who brought their ideas to Broadcom’s Customer Innovation Panel, including the following:

5. To Dos at Investment Level

8. Allocations from Estimates

The Staff module now supports performing allocations from estimates.

9. Accessibility Enhancements
