Workday Review
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Workday Adaptive Planning to do headcount planning at a very granular level. We do headcount planning at a team level. We also do planning for headcount at various international entities at a local currency level. Further we are also able to track our contractor workforce within Adaptive Planning and adjust for any changes to our original Plan.
Pros
- Headcount Planning
- International Entities
- Local Currency Planning
- Contractors
Cons
- Somewhat cumbersome to use
- Not user friendly
- Hard to navigate and find things
Likelihood to Recommend
Workday Adaptive Planning is useful for basic headcount planning but is difficult to use with complex scenarios such as with a reorganization with the company. Planning for international entities is decent but we have not needed to use it for anything very complicated. Another area that seems to work well for us is when we see attrition and need to plan for backfills.
