Exploring Demand Management
Learn more about Demand Management and its process flow, and reviewing its benefits to your organization.
Demand Management overview
In Demand Management assess the ideas submitted through the Idea Portal or ideation module and promote the feasible ideas to demands. Track the progress of an accepted idea as it moves through the demand life cycle (idea to a demand, to a project, enhancement, change, or defect).
Demands are available in the Next Experience for Demand Management. For more information, see Next Experience for Demand Management.
The workspace provides additional value beyond the legacy experience, including Playbook, Docs, and the ability to define different governance processes using playbooks.
- New customers: Use Next Experience for Demand Management to create and manage your demands.
- Existing customers: If you already have demands in the classic UI, you can continue using it. However, we recommend moving to the Next Experience for Demand Management, as your existing demands are automatically available there.
Demand Management workflow
In demand management, a demand can be in any of the following states.
The demand states are Draft, Submitted, Screening, Approved, and Completed. For more information, see Use Demand Management.
