Let’s talk planning and workflow. Today this gets accomplished in one of two ways:

The concept is to deploy a Planning Analytics Workspace module that will place focus on the primary persona, the budgeting and planning manager and his/her planning process participants. It aims to move away from traditional hierarchy based workflow which existed in prior solutions and takes a fresh new approach.
Please share your comments with me on how you would like to see this new workflow functionality get integrated into Planning Analytics Workspace.
