Demand Management

The Demand Management application consists of tools for capturing, centralizing, and assessing strategic and operational demands. It also provides a single location for managing all the demand information.

Demand Management overview

重要:

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.

If you have Portfolio Planning Workspace or Strategic Planning Workspace, you can use the Next Experience for Demand Management to create and manage your demands.

• 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.

A typical workflow for you as the demand manager is as follows:

• Work on a demand to assess the feasibility, effort, and cost of the demand and create a business case for approval of the demand.
• Create demand tasks, such as an initial feasibility review, cost estimate, and effort estimate, to delegate activities to specialized resources or groups. For example, a demand manager can create demand tasks for assessing the cost associated with a software upgrade and the resources required.
• Assign demand tasks to a business analyst, resource user, or an appropriate group. The assigned resource or group then creates a cost plan and resource assignment to help the demand manager assess and qualify the demand. For more information, see Demand tasks.
