Great idea! This is frustrating when you are drilling down at a summary level on a line item with a "sum" summary setting. When I drill down on these line items, it doesn't allow me to choose the dimension to drill down on first. ... View more

@DavidSmith Yes, that would satisfy the use case. Is there an estimated release date for those enhancements? ... View more

That's a tricky one, @JaredDolich. We try to mitigate the risk of turnover through 2 tasks: (1) putting together robust documentation for all of our more complicated model builds, and (2) building models in as uniform a format as possible. To ensure models continue to meet the needs of our users, we continually evaluate usage to determine if any models are in need of a "face lift". With over 100 model builders at DaVita, we are able to distribute model ownership so that maintaining models doesn't become an undue burden for any one team or individual. ... View more

Great question, @andrewtye. As you can imagine, it's going to be quite the lift for our team to fully transition to the new UX and will require substantial end user feedback. Right now we are piloting our most frequently used model to obtain feedback on the new UX and the best way to implement it at DaVita. Once we have a better understanding of the change management needs associated with the transition we will put together a plan/timeline for each model conversion. We will likely wait until all models have been transitioned to the new UX before turning it on for our end users. ... View more

Your name: Rachel Goering Your company: DaVita Where you are on your CoE journey: DaVita’s CoE is well-established. We support approximately 5,000 users across the enterprise. We currently have 9 dedicated individuals in the CoE (6 in the model building lane and 2 in the data integration lane) as well as 30+ model builders with varying levels of expertise outside of the CoE (called “franchise builders”). The CoE is responsible for: (1) the development of more complex models, (2) communicating best practices to our franchise builders to ensure a consistent user experience across models, (3) the creation and maintenance of data hubs, (4) access management, and (5) training franchise builders. Franchise builders help us support the 100+ Anaplan models across the organization. If your CoE already exists, how long has it been around, and what is your role: DaVita’s CoE formed in 2014. I manage a team of 5 model builders and lead the CoE. What you hope to get out of this CoE section of Community (we constantly monitor this and are always looking for ways to improve!): I would love to learn from others who have a large user base to discover best practices for communication and change management. ...
