Subject: End of Life Announcement for the Clarity PPM Add-ins: New Product Development (NPD), Accelerator for PRINCE2 (PRINCE2), Accelerator for the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), and Earned Value Manager (EVM)

CA Technologies, A Broadcom Company, is continually working to improve our software and services to best meet the needs of our customers. In order to focus our development efforts and to help our customers achieve their strategic business initiatives, we are investing our resources in new technology and software and will be discontinuing support, effective December 2, 2019, for the following Add-ins for Clarity PPM and Clarity PPM SaaS:

• New Product Development (NPD)
• Accelerator for PRINCE2 (PRINCE2)
• Accelerator for the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK)
• Earned Value Manager (EVM)

In accordance with the CA Support Policy and Terms available at CA Support Policy and Terms, please consider this email your written notification for End of Life (EOL) of the NPD, PRINCE2, PMBOK, and EVM Add-ins for Clarity PPM and Clarity PPM SaaS.

Add-ins are content offerings, not product functionality; therefore, when we EOL them we do not offer functional alternatives. Existing customers may continue to leverage the content, but it will not be available for new customers.

• A new customer installing future releases of Clarity PPM will not be able to install these add-ins.
• Existing customers upgrading to future releases of Clarity PPM will not get new versions of these
• add-ins.

With the release of Clarity PPM release 15.7.1, these Add-ins will no longer be enhanced, and maintenance and technical support will be discontinued effective December 2, 2019. Customers may continue to run and use the Clarity PPM Add-in products referenced above in production and Non-production environments after the End-of-Life Date. However, after December 2, 2019, CA will no longer provide any fixes, patches, service packs, updates, upgrades, programmatic changes, new features, coverage for updated or new operating systems, databases, browsers, or any additional components.

If you have any questions regarding the support schedule, please contact Clarity PPM Technical Support at CA Support Online. Our Technical Support Lifecycle Policy is also available here.

Your success is very important to us, and we look forward to continuing our successful partnership with you.

Thank you,
