移动体验在一个不动的世界中的含义

What happens to “planning on the go” when people aren’t going anywhere? In this blog, we take a look at the path to mobile planning, how mobile trends and technology changed over the past year, and where its future is headed.

在一个快节奏的移动领先世界中，无论何时何地，对于忙碌的商业领导者来说，无论何时何地都可以检查业务绩效。但是，当世界尖叫到全球大流行时，会发生什么呢？也就是说，当人们实际上没有去任何地方时，“旅行计划”会发生什么？

This question comes up in customer conversations a lot and the answer, it turns out, might just surprise you. Let’s take a look at the path to mobile planning, how mobile trends and technology changed over the past year, and where its future is headed.

移动计划的道路

通过创新，破坏和消费者的需求铺设的移动之路是迫切需要更好计划能力的一部分。通过将电子表格，点系统和旧工具拼凑在一起留下的空白为灵活的云技术留出了空间，从而消除了围绕决策的不确定性漩涡。

Mobile planning is an extension of connected, conversational, and collaborative planning. It’s one of many tools business leaders have to treat enterprise planning like a team sport. We’ve previously exploredparallels between enterprise planning and weak-link sportssuch as American soccer. Like soccer, planning requires participation from and between everyone across the enterprise—or team, so to speak.

为了敏捷和有效，计划必须将人员，计划和数据编织在一起。换句话说，有效的计划不会在断开连接的执行策略上进行。更多的参与计划还触发了对更灵活的技术的需求，并且多设备功能将其列入必备功能的列表。

It’s easy to see that the well of mobile planning runs deep and wide. Not only does it offer planners immediate access to data, but it gives them more ways to contribute on the go and in real time. More importantly, it lets them update plans during the moments most convenient for them.

旅行计划具有新的含义

The pandemic forced leaders and teams to shift from planning in offices and on the go to planning remotely at home. Despite being stuck at home with readily available laptops and home offices, recent trends reveal that mobile usage continued to grow—a lot. By the end of last year, people haddownloaded 218 billion apps, consumer spending in app stores reached $143 billion，和average American checked their phone every 12 minutes.

Mobile planning apps were no exception to these trends. Since last year, Anaplan mobile app usage has increased 141% and more Anaplan customers have stayed connected within the planning process than ever before.

One reason why more people are relying on mobile planning apps is convenience. For a lot of folks, “on the go” no longer means a morning commute into the city or a late-evening check-in after dinner. Planning on the go has become check-ins in between their kids’ Zoom classes, quick catch ups during nap times, and spontaneous conversations with coworkers throughout the very non-traditional workday.

Staying connected in moments of need

In times of overwhelming responsibilities, mobile apps give people more ways to balance their professional priorities with their personal lives. Mobile apps alert people to moments of need and help them stay connected when it matters most. In enterprise planning solutions, multi-device features such astagging, commenting, and push notificationslet people know right when a priority action item is waiting for them.

For example, a corporate finance analyst can comment on a specific KPI, tag in an HR colleague who needs visibility, and trigger an action for their manager—sending them both a mobile notification that takes them exactly where their attention is needed in the mobile app. Capabilities like barcode scanners also make it simple and easy for planners to enter numerical data from their phone quickly.

Integrations between different mobile apps give users even更多合作方式. Collaboration tools like the Slack app make it easy to communicate with coworkers, which can be another way to plan effectively across cross-functional teams. The Anaplan Slackbot, for example, lets planners receive notifications and pages from coworkers directly over Slack messages instead of parsing through multiple emails.

What the future of mobile planning looks like

随着人们慢慢返回办公室，计划的未来会是什么样？在许多方面，我们可以期望这些趋势继续下去。商业领袖和计划者仍然需要在会议，下班后和周末之间快速访问性能指标。人们将依靠通知及时行动和决定。快速，可访问且设计良好的移动仪表板仍然是忙碌的高管的必备品。

移动plann的未来ing expands on these trends with even more intuitive, user-friendly capabilities. Think: automated, conversational collaboration features; visually impactful dashboards and clearly defined KPIs; and user-friendly, customizable widgets that refresh with real-time planning data and performance metrics.

随着我们继续tip脚回到我们心爱的社区和办公室时，我们很快就会对未来几年的“正常”外观有了更好的了解。但是，一件事是可以肯定的：我们彼此合作的方式已经进行了测试，并且它们比以往任何时候都更强大……只有从移动应用程序中进行了一些“推动”。
