The Planual provides a systematic set of standards for model building on the Anaplan platform. The rules in it are designed to produce the most efficient, usable, and scalable Anaplan models, while dramatically increasing performance for models in all contexts. We recommend that model builders familiarize themselves with these standards and start to incorporate them into their model-building practices. (The results will be significant!)
Read from top to bottom to see how the rules fit together, or access only the rules that are most applicable to your specific application. For many rules, we have included links to additional rules and relevant articles in Community. The Planual is an evolving document and leverages years of experience and experimentation from internal Anaplan builders, customers, partners, and Master Anplanners. We welcome all feedback and suggestions! (A French version is available here.)
