Thanks for the shout out!!
Planual V2 was something I was planning to release this year, including more explanations of the "why" and also get our community team to revamp the on line version.
I have started this, but my recent job move meant I had to pause it.
I would be more than happy to work with you, Rob M, Jared etc. to get this updated
Cheers
David
@Misbah, @JaredDolich - I was talking to another Anaplan newbie like me ( @antonlagergren ) and he had what I think is an interesting idea...developing some "cheat sheets" that would explain the process of say creating a module from a best practice perspective but do so with some visuals. And make it oriented towards a newer Anaplanners...
I am probably not explaining the concept well, but even so, would this be something you would be interested in exploring? Not sure if it fits into Planual or not...
Thanks
We are starting to work on Planual v2 next week, so hopefully we can get this out soon.

Hi all,
Thanks for the introduction, David! Yes, I had the idea of making some cheat sheets. I've been trying to think of what topics might be most beneficial, anybody have any suggestions? I was thinking possibly a "How to compose a formula", or "How to build a module", step by step. I am definitely open to any suggestions from community members of cheat sheets they think would be beneficial. I think the best topics will be those that take a significant enough amount of steps that having a handy list of "order of operations", might be beneficial.
As for contributing to Planual V2 (or even for use on the cheat sheets) --- I enjoy making instructional design graphics/step by step type designs and have done it for many previous projects. I am including some examples from a Digital Logic Design class I had a few years back. All graphics are created by me just using Paint program. Conveniently, Digital Logic Design deals with module connectivity in an almost identical fashion to how Anaplan models are constructed, from a conceptual standpoint (inputs, outputs, formulas, steps, rule exceptions, best practices, etc).
Please take a look at my documents and let me know if any of this sounds to be of use! 🙂 Feel free to reach out, I am happy to offer my time.

How did I miss this post ? 🙂
@Misbah well done for the "Planual Explained". It's a great idea that deserves its own section - I'm going the relevant link/info with the rest of the team and slowly catch-up with the series.
Also, great to hear you guys and Anaplan are already working on the v2. FY - does anyone have a rough idea about a targeted date/quarter for the revamped version to be available ? I love the idea of visuals too!
Thank you so much. Digital Planual is going to be released soon - it is being worked upon. @rob_marshall any idea when will this be out.
