  • RAG time slots for CPX have been announced. See below.
  • RAG is #3 base on membership count, #2 if you exclude the Community Group, just behind the UK. We still have a long way to go on the engagement. See stats below.

Statistics

Okay. For analysts like me, this analysis section is second favorite part of RAG. First, of course, is visiting with all of you. All screenshots below are from the NewUX Dashboard.

Composition

Our membership comprises of 11 unique Anaplan customers which is great. @BobD and I have some ideas to encourage more customers to consider joining this group.

Membership

Growth month over month significantly slower. We may attempt another LinkedIn and/or Community Post to encourage more people to join.This chart always shows the trailing 3 months (thank you @rob_marshall, @DavidSmith, and @ChrisMullen in L2 for teaching us how to do this)

Overall Statistics

We continue to rank very high among Anaplan groups on the overall KPIs, especially membership count. Only weak spot is engagement. We generally need more interaction from the group to advance that statistic. From my experience and observation, some of the best engaged groups are the Pacific Northwest (@Aaron.wasinger and @matthewkuo),  UK and Ireland (@kcorr) , Russia (@Ks) , Anaplan Extensions (private @MagaliP ), and Master Anaplanners (private @Ameneh, @Beauram, @ChrisWeiss ). Pacific NW blew me away during their last meeting with two customers sharing their Anaplan journey with us. Russia just has the most awesome apps. UK and Ireland impresses all around. I will continue to attend their meetings and watch their engagement so we can all learn from their success.

There are 46 Groups I track (Group Count Total). I then rank them out by region and subject. The best KPI I could think of for engagement right now is Posts per Member. The higher, the better.
