We are not a fan of the fabled 'User Story'! Other consultancies and even Anaplan advocate using them. But are they not more like 'love stories' than a set of detailed user requirements?

My first Anaplan project was a sh!t show. This is what I have learnt during the years since so I avoid it ever happening again.

Successful Anaplan projects for FP&A focus on the following five priorities;

1. Processes

2. Data

3. People

4. FP&A experts

5. Anaplan experts
