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 13 unique Anaplan customers (18 members) 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.
Overall Statistics
We continue to rank very high among Anaplan groups on the overall KPIs. 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 @Matthew_Kuo), UK and Ireland (@kcorr) , Russia (@Ks) , Anaplan Extensions (private @MagaliP ), and Master Anaplanners (private @Ameneh, @Beauram, @ChrisWeiss ). Software and Technology led by @Tiffany.Rice had a major growth spurt in both membership and engagement from CPX. Modelers Forum UK ( @MagaliP and @Paul ) continues to win all around. They had a terrific session after the Anaplan Live! session where they discussed the ability to calculate the median. 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.
@MryP yes, yes! So glad that you've joined this group. Since I can't send you a welcome email I will put it here!!

Welcome Mourya!
Mourya, it means the world to Bob and me that you decided to join the Retail Anaplan Group! The Retail Anaplan Group is the 2nd largest Anaplan Group based on member count. Having someone from Tata Motors is AMAZING. I hope you have some good supply chain use cases!!
Mourya, Bob Debicki, @BobD, and I, @JaredDolich, just started this user's group in early May with the idea that we can provide two really important retail pillars for you:
- Networking
- Learning
Our mission: To provide you venues to meet other retail and Anaplan enthusiasts and to empower you to implement retail best practices.
Your Retail Anaplan Group Welcome Box
Mourya, while our focus is retail, we will still have a heavy amount of supply chain topics. So even if you're not 100% aligned to retail, all the more reason to join our conference calls and webinars.

- Very, very important! Please update your email notifications. There's a very strong likelihood that this Anaplan Group will be rather active. Any new posts, responses to posts, or revisions to posts will, by default, send you an email. My suggestion is that you reset many of these options to send you a daily digest, a single email that has all the changes of the day. We don't want to overwhelm you with a lot of emails!
