Session 3 - London Meet up (Anaplan Modelers Forum UK)

[Yugnesh.Patel]

Hi everyone, please can you let me know if you're available on either 12th or 13th June (6-8pm) for the next Anaplan Modelers Forum London meet up (session number 3). At the end of the last session we came up with the following list of agenda items with a specific focus on sharing our ideas and experiences of implementing Anaplan: 

• Interactive discussion: Experiences of Anaplan within our organisations – journeys so far?
• How to improve the use of Anaplan across departments – breaking down the barriers to enable truly connected planning
• Anaplan solutions and stakeholders - focusing your efforts on the most effective use cases and keeping stakeholders happy
• Mobile App beta demo (Paul Gallagher)

Please can each of you post a message on here with your availability as well as any agenda ideas or feedback for the next meet up.

Thanks

Hi Yugnesh

Unfortunately I can't make either of the dates.  June is proving to be a very busy month 🙂  

[KarynGibbs]

Sounds like it's going to be a good event but unfortunately I'm going to be away on those dates.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that I can make the next one.

Hi Everyone,

Hi - Sorry been away for the last few days. At the moment won't be able to make this one, that might change depending on how my current project proceeds.

[Rich.Buttivant]

Hi Yunesh,

I will be there all things being well.

Looking forward to it.

Suggestion on topics;

1. The best practice for finding and removing inefficient parts of models

2. How others devolve locking/freezing various scenarios within models; and manage access rights throughout a monthly cycle

3. How we can quickly/easily integrate apps from the community in to our models

Many thanks

Richard

I'm seeing some interesting points. Would it be worth creating some a backlog and a quick voting system to prioritize items ? 

I've got another one : 

- Tools, strategies and best practices for debugging model performances. To be more specific, this point could be split in two streams :

1) Anaplan has access to tools that provide key information on model behaviour and performances, but we don't. eg Splunk/Model Open analysis outputs are a prime example. How can we leverage/improve in this area ?

2) On the other hand there are some best practices, steps that could be performed systematically from model builders. 

Happy to present a specific example as a starting point for discussion.

Is this of interest ?

Hi Yugnesh,

Unfortunately I can't make either date.  I don't work in London and so I'll only be able to attend if I'm visiting for something else.  Looking forward to reading the output though!

Thanks,

Sally
