Key to create the process is taking a prioritization method and a prioritization criteria to use with the method. That´s all you need. And taking into account that you will not decide about the prioritization, your stakeholders will do that.

There won't be a simple answer .... there are several variables that will drive the more granular details.

If we speak of development resources, our process focuses on their efforts. We'll work to process the intake, requirements/analysis, and estimations. From there we can add to the queue dependent on prioritization exercises. From this perspective, the development team is freed up once delivered into UAT. To this end, the roadmap would focus on development start and UAT delivery. The considerations include analysis, estimation, and issue/defect resolution.

How is this roadmap managed, maintained, and exposed will help deliver the benefit planning, allocation, and forecasting activities.

Nikhilreddy -

Before developing and rolling out a process with or without a supporting tool, the interaction model and behavior expectations of functional managers, project managers and team members needs to be defined and institutionalized.

Otherwise, all the process will do is to increase visibility into chronic multitasking and over-allocation.

I would recommend to start very simple - whatever data is collected or people are expected to provide should be the bare minimum required to support decision making. Once you are getting that data completely and accurately then progress to greater levels of granularity.

Make sure you address the WIIFM principle - senior leadership and functional managers might benefit from this, but how will the typical team member and/or PM benefit. If you can't answer that, go back to the drawing board!

We are using CA PPM and moving towards Agile, not sure how to design process by using CA PPM

As Kiron said, the process should be independent of the tool. Don't focus on the how yet. Focus on the what.
