By Example: Compare Capacity Planning Scenarios

You can compare a scenario with the plan of record or with another scenario. The comparison allows you to see how the latest scenario changes compare to the plan of record or the last round of changes. When you are comparing scenarios, red-lining appears on the page to help you distinguish between the two sets of data.

The ability to compare scenarios, using red-lining, appears on all project team and some project task pages.

Follow these steps:

1. From the scenario toolbar, select a scenario.
2. Select the plan of record or a second scenario to compare the first scenario from the Compare To drop-down.
3. Navigate through the pages to compare different aspects of the scenarios. Switch between the investment and resource pages to compare role capacity and allocation.

   To see the scenario details as standalone entries without the red-lining, select your planning scenario from the left scenario drop-down. Select None from the right scenario drop-down.

   Scenario 1 is compared with the plan of record. The plan of record data is red-lined and scenario data appears below it. You can compare the resource allocation dates, allocation amounts, and ETC.

   Individual task dates got pushed out for an investment due to schedule changes.

   The investment staffing data is compared against two scenarios. You can compare the following data types for each investment team member between Scenario 1 and Scenario 2:

   • The allocation start and finish date
   • The total allocation hours
   • The ETC
