The Zen of Anaplan
Ten guidelines
• Just because you CAN doesn’t mean you SHOULD
• Calculate once, reference many times
• Simple > complex
• Only calculate when you need to
• Sparsity is not your enemy
• Big and fast > small and slow
• Booleans = great. Text = bad
• Text joins = worse
• Don’t let exceptions overcomplicate the model
• Sums and lookups are good, but never together
