Suggested walkthrough

Use this sequence to introduce a new planner to the connected planning story without entering technical setup.

A suggested demonstration walkthrough

For a first-time user, the following sequence gives a coherent overview without entering technical setup.

Current Position

Start with the headline position, first shortfall, peak gap, transformation benefit and budget.

Demand & Requirement

Select a material week and show the calculation bridge from baseline demand to resolved requirement and FTE gap.

Forecast

Show:

  • approved baseline versus resolved forecast;
  • historical data and normalisation;
  • Contact Rate Data;
  • pending revisions and forecast versions.

Explain that both Time-series and Contact Rate Forecasts use the same review and staging workflow.

Transformations

Show one demand transformation and one requirement-side transformation. Explain lifecycle, incremental impact and BAU absorption.

Workforce

Show available versus effective FTE, planned movements and ramping.

Scenario

Activate the prepared Scenario, show that the Workbench context changes, then open Scenario Comparison to compare the committed result with Production.

Intelligence

Return to Production and show:

  • Executive Overview;
  • Staffing Outlook;
  • Forecast Intelligence;
  • Operational Delivery Intelligence;
  • Executive Report.

Emphasise that these pages interpret but do not change the plan.

Configuration

Finish with Configuration Overview and briefly show:

  • Work Types and requirement methods;
  • Department and Queue planning;
  • shrinkage;
  • ramp profiles;
  • budget;
  • governance thresholds.

This demonstrates that the visible plan is produced from explicit, reusable rules rather than hidden calculations.
