User Interface Tool for Generating and Analyzing Scenarios for Assumption Planning

A computer-implemented method for performing assumption-based planning, comprising:

• generating and displaying, by a computer comprising a processor and memory, an assumption creation graphical user interface, wherein the assumption creation graphical user interface is configured to enable a creation of one or more assumptions;
• generating and displaying, by the computer, a planning graphical user interface, wherein the planning graphical user interface is configured to enable a selection of one or more options and one or more parameters;
• generating and displaying, by the computer, a goal selection graphical user interface configured to receive a selection of one or more goals for planning;
• generating and displaying, by the computer, a lever selection graphical user interface configured to receive a selection of one or more levers for the planning;
• updating, by the computer, the lever selection graphical user interface in response to receiving a selection of the one or more levers;
• generating and displaying, by the computer, an input adjustment graphical user interface configured to display the one or more selected levers and receive one or more selections to toggle the one or more selected levers on or off;
• performing, by the computer, a planning analysis using the selected one or more goals and the one or more selected levers;
• generating and displaying, by the computer, a planning analysis summary graphical user interface configured to display the one or more selected goals and the one or more selected levers used in performing the planning analysis;
• and
• generating and displaying, by the computer, a response plan graphical user interface configured to display a response plan based on the planning analysis.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium embodied with software for performing assumption-based planning, the software when executed by a computer is configured to:

• generate and display an assumption creation graphical user interface, wherein the assumption creation graphical user interface is configured to enable a creation of one or more assumptions;
• generate and display a planning graphical user interface, wherein the planning graphical user interface is configured to enable a selection of one or more options and one or more parameters;
• generate and display a goal selection graphical user interface configured to receive a selection of one or more goals for planning;
• generate and display a lever selection graphical user interface configured to receive a selection of one or more levers for the planning;
• update the lever selection graphical user interface in response to receiving a selection of the one or more levers;
• generate and display an input adjustment graphical user interface configured to display the one or more selected levers and receive one or more selections to toggle the one or more selected levers on or off;
• perform a planning analysis using the one or more selected goals and the one or more selected levers;
• generate and display a planning analysis summary graphical user interface configured to display the one or more selected goals and the one or more selected levers used in performing the planning analysis;
• and
• generate and display a response plan graphical user interface configured to display a response plan based on the planning analysis.
