How to setup an E2E planning process with SAP Analytics Cloud
Motivation
This blog post shows how to setup a sample end-to-end planning process using SAP Analytics Cloud. For demonstration purposes we kept the scenario of the planning process simple but explained different components in detail.
We also encourage you to try out the capabilities presented by your own and create planning processes at larger scales!
Note, this video already uses the upcoming feature: dependencies. It allows linking calendar tasks to the modeler. In fact, this feature is planned to be released in 2022 QRC2 of SAP Analytics Cloud!

Nice and comprehensive, well done!
Great step by step demo. Thank you.
Great functionality to start automating the planning process. Very clear demo, thank you.
Hope also that version/scenario can at some point be managed and passed through context to stories & apps, and also that import/export jobs can be triggered for the full E2E process.
Great progress. That's gonna be a long wait until QRC2 2022.
