Project Scope
Current State Overview

Charlie Paws Pet Supplies is seeking to replace their current tool(s) with the Anaplan
platform for budget, planning, and forecasting of a P&L concentrating on the modeling of
Revenue, COS, Overheads, HR Costs, Marketing and Capex. Charlie Paws Pet Supplies
currently uses Excel for modeling leveraging Salesforce, Workday, and Financial Force
(G/L) as data sources.

Charlie Paws Pet Supplies seeks to improve the efficiency and timeliness of the annual
budget process, in addition to introducing a quarterly forecast . Additionally, the client is
looking to eliminate Excel templates in use today in favor of a corporate standardized
template accessed and used in Anaplan.

The Anaplan model should be able to do the following:


 Full P&L modeling
 Support quarterly forecasting
 Allocation of Central Opex costs to Profit Centres
 What-if scenario planning for FP&A team to allow for iterations on both Sales and
Opex.
 Currency conversion

Project Objectives

Enablement
Requirements
 Launchpad services will be delivered by Anaplan instructors at Anaplan facilities.
 Scope of training includes 2 days of orientation on the Anaplan Service and agile
methodology, introduction to basic features and functionality, and introduction to
model building and best practices. Delivery will begin at a mutually agreed time.
 Launchpad Services are to be delivered within a one-week period beginning on a
mutually agreed start date and completed no later than 6 months after the
Effective Date. Note: Launchpad Services fees are non-cancelable and non-
refundable. Anaplan is not responsible for Client-initiated delays.

Data Hub
Requirements
• In order to support the budgeting and forecasting process, the Anaplan solution
will be configured with a data hub in order to centralize the Client’s metadata and
data.
• Client will provide data to support all metadata structures during Week 1 of the
project.

Data Integration
Requirements
Imports:
 The Data integration sources for the initial phase of the Anaplan implementation
include the following:
 Financial Force: General Ledger (Actual):
 Salesforce: Sales modeling
 Workday: Employee List | Attributes

• Client is responsible for extracting and preparing data from upstream data sources
for deployment activities.
• Client is responsible for data cleansing and file preparation for upload into the
Anaplan Service.
• Anaplan will load Data manually, leveraging flat files provided by the Client for this
engagement until an integration method has been choosen by client
• Client and Anaplan will configure import actions in order to load upstream data
into the Anaplan data hub. Model-to-model imports will also be configured to
move data from the data hub into the planning model.

Anaplan and Client Confidential Page 5 of 20


The Anaplan Way – Statement of Work

• Client may use an external scheduling tool of its choice provided that Client is
responsible for implementing and configuring that tool to support additional
automation. Automation is limited to an unattended data load from a sourced
data file into Anaplan.
• The use of an ETL tool is at the Client’s discretion, and all configuration of any ETL
tool is the responsibility of the client.
• Frequency of data uploads will be determined during initial requirements sessions
and can be daily, weekly, and/or monthly as needed. Real-time data integration is
not in scope.

Exports:
• Client and Anaplan will configure export actions to produce flat files, in order to
load downstream data into other systems.
• The use of an ETL tool to push data from Anaplan into any other systems is at the
Client’s discretion, and all configuration of any ETL tool is the responsibility of the
client.

Budgeting and Forecasting Process


Process

Anaplan and Client Confidential Page 6 of 20


The Anaplan Way – Statement of Work

Process
• Charlie Paws Pet Supplies budget cycle begins with an internal analysis of the
Business in October once the third quarter results are available. The Annual
budget process starts with the provision of templates to cost centre managers for
Opex Planning and to Sales Managers for sales planning. The templates include
current data YTD.
• At the beginning of November, the templates are submitted to the FP&A group and
are reviewed with the cost centre/sales managers offering the opportunity to make
changes prior to the review with the CFO later in the month. A final submission is
generated in December and sent to the CFO for final approval
• A quarterly reforecast process is then undertaken following exactly the same
process during April (Q1 - 3 Months actuals and 9 months forecast) July (Q2 - 6
Months actuals and 6 months forecast) and October (Q3 - 9 Months actuals and 3
months forecast)
Requirements Phase 1
• Create a full profit and loss at GL Level by Profit Centre
• Plan at local currency level with outputs in GBP
• Setup import routines for the customer, product, fixed asset, employee and cost
centre hierarchy and associated data
• Set up export process of final P&L data to enable load into target financial systems
• Create simple reporting dashboards and summary charts along with KPI’s
• Create a sales forecasting summary dashboard allowing entry by Sales Reps
• Create an Overheads,fixed asset and marketing costs planning dashboard and
associated approval process for FP&A team.
• Create an Allocation process allowing all central costs to be allocated to Profit
Centres
• Create simple scenario planning for changes in high level drivers and assumptions
• Client is responsible for data tie out and reconciliation
• Anaplan assumes the Client’s intended end-state business process is fully defined
and accepted by all key stakeholders within Client prior to project kickoff. Lack of
definition or internal acceptance may require business process re-engineering,
which is out of scope for this SOW and will likely impact timelines and cost of this
project.

Requirements Phase 2 (Out of scope)


• Create a full balance sheet and cashflow integrated with the P&L
• Create a Top down Process for both the Budget and Quarterly Reforecast to enable
the CFO to set initial targets for both Sales growth and Opex Cost Control
• Develop a detailed workforce planning model allowing cost centre managers to
make adjustments to employee renumeration, role and location.

Anaplan Model Design

The following diagram outlines the high level Anaplan Design depicting the potential
models that will be configured during this implementation.

Known Unknowns
The Anaplan Way aligns with an agile approach for implementation therefore items can
be re-prioritized during the course of the project.
Estimates for this project have been provided based on the information reviewed to
date. The parties acknowledge that certain objectives and deliverables may require
intermediate steps that are not identifiable or performable until the Services have
progressed to a certain degree. As a result, the timeline and scope of Services may need
to be adjusted during the term of this SOW based on such unknowns.

Anaplan and Client Confidential Page 8 of 20


The Anaplan Way – Statement of Work

If necessary, the client and Anaplan will agree on a change order in the event of a
significant scope change that impacts costs.
The following are examples of intermediate steps that may not be identifiable or
performable until later in the Services:

• User Stories. Ability of Client to identify and provide sufficient detail in user
stories.
• Data Quality / completeness / sources. Data quality is a common challenge
discovered on most implementations and is typically unknown until project
initiation and actual import into Anaplan. To mitigate the risks/impact of this on
this engagement, client should provide all data for lists, hierarchies, and data
stories prior to user story creation to ensure any issues identified can be
addressed in a timely manner and avoid impact to project timelines.
• Data integration: Client has not yet idenfied a data integration and ETL tool.
• Level of client engagement - Client commitment to the project is essential to
ensure enablement and delivery of planned scope. For this engagement, the level
of commitment and engagement of client resources will need to be managed
closely to ensure there are no impacts to project scope or timelines.
• Business Process - Client’s to-be process needs to be determined prior to project
start. Alignment of to-be process changes can sometimes be challenging to obtain
within a client’s environment, therefore special attention to change management
by the client needs to be addressed early to avoid impact to project timelines and
acceptance of the overall Anaplan solution.
• UAT - Without proper attention to detail for UAT scripts that are written by the
client, UAT execution can be impacted resulting in un-necessary bugs, frustration,
and impact to timelines.
• Deployment. Client’s team availability for fields readiness, training and roll-out

The Anaplan Way – Statement of Work

Project Timeline
Based on the Project Scope documented herein listed above in the Project Objective
section above, we estimate that the implementation of the budgeting and forecasting
model will require 18 weeks from the start of the Project until the completion of UAT as
part of our Anaplan Way methodology, followed by 12 weeks of post Deployment
support. Timelines are subject to change based on initial start date and progression of
the Professional Services.
The estimated Project start date and estimated Project completion date are set forth
herein:
 Project Start Date: May 8, 2017
 Project End Date: November 30, 2017

The estimated Go Live date assumes the Client completes Launchpad training prior to
the Anaplan implementation team starting the Planning stage of the Project. The end
date is an estimated date, and will be automatically adjusted based on any delays to the
actual start date.

Anaplan Resource Availability and Timing


Anaplan and or its Subcontractor Partner will supply an implementation team with the
skills and experience required to successfully complete this Project. All assigned Anaplan
Customer Success staff and certified partners are experienced in business modeling,
design and have completed the Anaplan Model Builder Certification.
Unless otherwise negotiated, the resources assigned to this implementation will remain
on the implementation for the duration, but are not dedicated full-time to this
implementation. On occasion, Anaplan may need to change personnel. Should this
occur, Anaplan would coordinate with Client to minimize the impact but in no event shall
Client bear any additional costs or fees associated with any such change. Anaplan is
committed to minimizing the amount of disruption should a resource change be
required.
The Customer’s project lead will estimate during the scoping phase, prior to
implementation, if the project requires resources and support from an Anaplan team
specialized in performance testing. The decision is driven by model size, number of
users, concurrency and by the complexities of the business processes. The Anaplan
Performance Test team needs to be scheduled ahead of time and is billable.
Client Roles and Responsibilities
Anaplan’s Business Partner will service as Client’s primary contact for Anaplan. The
Business Partner will work directly with the Client’s Scrum Master/Project Manager, to
plan and coordinate all activities within the scope of the schedule and the budget of this
SOW. The Client’s Project Manager must have the authority to represent the Client’s
objectives and requirements to Anaplan and make key decisions relating to the
successful execution of each phase of the implementation of the Project.

Anaplan and Client Confidential Page 16 of 20
