Be Prepared
● All of the organization must understand there may be a culture
change
● Establish Best Practice Process – Before a Tool
○ Do not automate poor process. Use automation of a function as an
opportunity to leverage best practices and take a fresh look at how things
are done today
● Basic Project Management Training
○ Some organizations have people slated as a PM and they have had no
formal training. These folks really perceive CA PPM as administrative
overhead...a burden – because they do not understand “why” some things
should be done. It is good to talk about the process and concept of PM'ing
outside of the tool...then show how the tool can "enable" the process.
● Understand the Data You Want to Capture AND start with good data
● Have an Idea of the Reporting You Want Out
● Have Internal Resources (Support and SMEs) Ready to Go

Effective Information
Campaign
● Be Aware of Change Management
○ Start with the easy functions to deploy that require little data
maintenance. The most difficult function to deploy, in terms of change
management, is resource management – do NOT do this first.
● Create an Internal Marketing Campaign Before and During
Implementation
● Publish a Vision for CA PPM’s Future
● Establish Frequent Communication: Vision, Reminders, Success
Stories

Invest in Training / Mentoring
● Hands-On Training is the BEST
○ What is left behind after training (Quick Reference Guides, Manuals,
Presentations, CAPA) will not influence adoption – the time spent
performing exercises with an instructor/mentor will.
● Train Internal SMEs
○ Ensure you have internal SMEs that are invested in the tool and can spend
the time needed to get people to embrace the automation
● Synchronize Timing
○ In spite of all the training courses before deployment, resources do not have
great retention. You must focus on training once the system goes live.
Resources do not pay attention until it is real.
● Frequent Workshops or In Person Mentoring
○ Spending 15-30 minutes with every user at their own computer showing
them CA PPM features and functions will work miracles.
● Accessibility of Answers
○ Readily available training material, guides, videos, etc.

Don’t be a Perfectionist
● Don’t struggle with resolving every last detail when
implementing.
● Your process or setup may not be ideal at first, but remember
80% automation will save a great deal of time.
● Go with the majority -- don’t worry about trying to please
everyone. Focus your efforts on the 80% who are being
supportive, the rest will conform in their own time or as local
management demands.
● Don’t build everyone’s ideal reports up front – develop a
number of generic reports that can be downloaded and
manipulated. (80% automation)

Implement Functionality in
Stride
● Introduce only small bits of functionality, but do it quickly.
● Be careful not to overwhelm people -- much of the struggle in
implementing a PPM is initial perception.
● Let users know you are not asking for much right away. Once
implemented, you can add more functionality quickly.
● Keep in touch with users as new things are implemented -
taking sanity checks to let them know they are supported
12. www.regoconsulting.com Phone: 1-888-813-0444

Monitor Performance
● Implement Adoption Metrics
○ Establish a way up front that you will measure the success of the
deployment. What data are you trying to drive, etc.
○ Template available from RegoXchange
○ MUST BE USED

● Menus
○ Make the Menu Reflect Your Process
○ Modify the General Page
● Object Screens
○ Group Like Fields in Sections
○ Minimize the number of pages to update
• Do not put data on 3 subpages where the user has to jump between multiple pages to see or
edit the data they need to (unless they need to for security reasons)
○ Make Text Boxes Bigger
• Make them large so that users do not have to scroll to see all of the data
● One Click to Value
Organized and Simple

Get Rid of Unused Items
● CA has TONs of stuff. Often overwhelming. Get rid of stuff. Do not
be afraid.
● Do not delete – just inactivate and remove
● Removal examples:
○ Fields
○ Groups
○ Portlets

Leverage Alerts
● We want people to use CA PPM to manage by exception
● Email notifications
○ Late Timesheet
○ Late Status
○ Notify of Mixed booking
● Exception portlets to tell them what they should do – use portlets
to guide them
○ Late tasks
○ Mixed bookings
○ Unfilled roles

Response Time
● People relate response time to usability
● “One Click to Value” = Response Time
○ Disney Example – SharePoint link
○ Ohio Example – icon on desktop
○ Mayo Example – reports on list
● CA PPM login
○ Slowed by any portlets on the general page (all tabs) – so be careful what is on the general page
● Returning data in portlets = Response Time
○ No page should take more than 5 seconds
• Improve performance of portlets
• Limit # of portlets on the page

Cool Reporting
● Data must be meaningful
● Have views that recognize the person logged in to provide relevant
data
● Group the portlets/views together within pages with multiple tabs
all with the same types of portlets/views
● Create dashboard pages with summary portlets
● Use graphs as much as possible to convey points
