Capacity Planning Scenarios for Ideas

Scenarios allow you to apply a systematic methodology to optimize your idea or portfolio. Apply scenarios to your idea to analyze how staffing changes or shifts in dates affect the outcome of your idea or portfolio. You can evaluate your ideas by switching between a scenario and the plan of record.

You can do the following:

• Create capacity planning scenarios. Create a capacity planning scenario from any idea page that displays the scenario toolbar. The scenario toolbar displays below the page toolbar. You cannot create portfolio scenarios from the idea. Create them in a portfolio.
• Apply capacity planning to ideas. Use the scenario toolbar to select any existing capacity planning scenarios to which you have access rights. When you open an idea and select a scenario, either from a capacity planning scenario-enabled page, or the financial plan page of idea properties, that scenario is set as the current scenario.
