    Some thoughts...

    Step 1

    Get Setup with Anaplan.

    • Request a Free 90 Day Trial. You must have an Anaplan workspace in order to practice and to work through the training. 
    • Be patient though, there may be a waiting list.
    • Once you get confirmation of your workspace, go ahead and change your password.
    • This will be your login to Anaplan from now on. You can log in from the main website www.anaplan.com
    • While you are waiting for your workspace, watch this YouTube video by Simon Tucker Chief Planning officer at Anaplan to get an Anaplan primer. 4 minutes.
    • Then, watch this “connected planning” YouTube video, 9 minutes.

     

    Step 2

    Setup your Anaplan learning account. In order to obtain the free online training, you need to set up a Learning account.

    • Start by going to the Anaplan Academy.
    • Set up an account.
    • Choose your alias wisely. It's very hard to change in the future. Mine is JaredDolich but others will choose a less conspicuous name.
    • The certification path looks like this. Your goal should be to obtain the lime green certification, or the Anaplan Certified Model Builder.

    Step 3

    Start your Anaplan modeling training.

    • Start by going to the home page for model building training at the Academy.
    • Click on the Level 1 Icon.
    • Follow the instructions and use your workspace to build your models.
    • Level 1 takes about 20 hours. Level 2 takes about 40 hours. Anaplan Way takes about 5 hours.

     

    Overall:

    • Be patient this will take some time.
    • Try to take video courses in one sitting if you can. They're short, 2-8 minutes each.
    • Certifications should be done over 2-5 consecutive days, but try to work in 4 hours in a sitting. 
    • Practice. For example, I have a model I built that uses every function. This is a great way to learn and helps with the “activity” score you need later on with certifications.
    • Remember there are many ways to solve problems in Anaplan. Some are better than others but if you get the result you’ll be fine. Later, you can learn optimization.
    • Don’t hesitate to ask questions on the community site. You’ll get an answer within minutes. Probably 3-4 answers!
