Overall Satisfaction with Workday Adaptive Planning
The Adaptive Planning tool is been used by FP&A department & sales - FP&A use it for budgeting and forecasting purpose - Sales use to for QAM purpose.
It addresses mostly all the problems related to Headcount & other spend - like capacity planning, Allocations, productivity, retention, etc.

Pros
- Versioning/scenario analysis - It is so easy to run scenario analysis and compare live the changes - And one can preserve the data for different scenarios and can compare any number of version against each other in minutes.
- Formulae creation is so easy - everyone can work on Adaptive as it's more or less Excel - creating new accounts and writing formulas has never been this easy.
- Very user friendly - It's very straightforward.
Cons
- Actuals - if the company restate the actuals - and if that version is overly in the locked version - it changes the locked version id we updated the new actuals - It would be great if there is some way to preserve the forecast version without creating a new actual version.
- The audit trail for the forecast changes - if that can be added it will be great.
- Personnel sheet filters - it's very time consuming that we have to make the change and save it every time- before when we use the filter we use to get to that row/cell and still could see full sheet & were able to save after doing bunch of changes but this new way makes it mandatory to save after every change, very time consuming.
- It's been mostly positive - Analysis of cost run rate and trending become real easy giving business a view and understanding where it's headed and any cost elimination and additions become easy.
