A Demand Senario is a combination of several Demand V&O.

This page includes three steps:

  • Base Demand Plan

Base Demand Plan comes with all datasets. It represents the demand without any Demand V&O. In the following steps of this application, you may use it as the base of the demand scenario.

Create Demand Scenario

To bring up the create dialog, click the icon button at bottom right.

Enter a unique name, and optional description, check DVOs that should be included, then click on Create.

Once created, the demand and revenue will show up in line charts of this page.

Define Demand Scenario

After you are back on the main page, you can still change selected DVOs to be included in each demand scenario. Select the checkbox(es) in table Vulnerabilities and Opportunities. In the example below, 'Demand Scenario 1' includes both DVOs; by default, Base demand plan isn't related to any DVO.

Note that the 'Base demand plan' does not include a Demand V&O, and it is not editable.

Select a Demand scenario by clicking its column (the checkbox might get unchecked) to view details in the waterfall chart at right, which will be explained in the next section.

Learn About Demand Scenario

Each Demand Scenario includes a selection of Demand V&Os. It is helpful to learn what is the added impact from each Demand V&O.

The waterfall chart visualizes the impact added by each Demand V&O for the Demand Scenario selected in the top left table.

Demand Scenarios are in columns. Select a Scenario by clicking its column (not checkbox) to view details in the waterfall chart.

You can use the top right widget action to toggle between revenue and volume.

When toggled to show revenue:

From left to right, the first bar is the revenue of the: Base Demand Plan. The remaining bars are the revenue changes imposed by each Demand V&O.

A green bar means increase of the revenue, usually due to added demand opportunity.

When toggled to show margin:

The bar at the far left is the margin of the: Base Demand Plan. The remaining bars are the margin changes imposed by each Demand V&O.

A green bar means increase of the margin, usually due to added demand opportunity.

You can use the Period Filter to narrow down the scope of this chart. For example, where there are three month selected, the first screenshot now becomes:
