The new Scenario Planning feature is generally available. This powerful feature is designed for project managers, resource managers, and team leads who are close to delivery and need a dedicated space to run what-if scenarios without impacting their live plans.
Scenario Planning solves the key pain of operating under uncertainty and relying on manual guesswork. It eliminates the slow, error-prone cycle where teams resort to manually copying sheets and testing changes in isolation, a process that often creates stale data and requires hours of time-consuming manual rework to sync changes back into original plans. By providing real-time capacity data and side-by-side comparison, Scenario Planning enables you to ditch gut-feel decisions and instantly evaluate trade-offs for critical situations, like adjusting to a moved-up deadline or rebalancing over-allocated resources. This allows you to choose the best path forward and execute with certainty, faster.
When Resource Management is added to your Enterprise plan, Scenario Planning gets even more powerful. You can plan ahead using placeholders, roles, and disciplines to explore resourcing options before any commitments are made.
