The Context
User Stories
In this course, you are going to be building a model for a fictional company – a small retail menswear clothing chain. The Anaplan implementation team has identified 3 user stories to focus on for the initial model build; your objective will be to build a model to satisfy these user stories. Review the abbreviated versions of the User Stories, and then it’s time to start building!

The Anaplan Model
Model Schema
A model to meet the needs expressed in the user stories has been pre-designed for you so that you can focus on the process of building the model rather than designing it. The course lessons will walk you through the concepts and step-by-step instructions you need to build this model. If you like to see the big picture before diving into details, take a look at the model schema.
