Author: Author: Damien Bouquier has been a Certified Master Anaplanner for 5+ years and has developed solutions across a wide range of industries for FP&A, supply chain, and sales operations planning use cases.
In this ‘How I Built It’ tutorial, I show how Anaplan’s Optimizer can provide more transparency and user feedback. By surfacing the impact of user overrides — whether they result in an equivalent, degraded, or constraint-breaking solution — this approach helps demystify the “black box” nature of optimization.
By combining Anaplan’s powerful modeling capabilities with clear feedback loops, users can make more informed decisions, understand trade-offs, and trust the optimization process. This added visibility empowers planners to experiment confidently, while maintaining control and ensuring alignment with business constraints.
