Interactive dimensional hierarchy development

A computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium readable by one or more processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by one or more processor for performing a method comprising:
• examining change request data defined by a certain analyst user with use of a user interface of a planning application, the change request data defining a change to a dimensional hierarchy used by the planning application, wherein the user interface includes an area that displays a dimensional hierarchy being authored by the certain analyst user;
• generating a change request data record in dependence on the examining, wherein the change request data record specifies attributes of the change to the dimensional hierarchy;
• and
• using data of the change request data record to present prompting data for guiding the certain analyst user in further changing the dimensional hierarchy, wherein the method includes performing a predicting as to whether the certain analyst user will perform an update to the dimensional hierarchy, wherein the performing the predicting includes using a frequency with which dimensional hierarchy updates available from data sources associated to the user interface have been implemented as changes to the dimensional hierarchy being authored.
