Taskunverified

Annual Operating Plan (AOP) build

Construct the company-wide budget for the coming fiscal year across revenue, headcount, opex and capex. Involves top-down targets negotiated against bottom-up cost-center submissions.

must happen before

A hard sequencing dependency: the target cannot correctly start until the source is done. The note gives the reason.

Budget vs actual variance analysisTaskunverified
There is no variance without an approved baseline to vary from.
Quota setting and capacity planningTaskunverified
Quotas are derived from the approved revenue plan. Setting them first guarantees the sales plan and the financial plan disagree from day one.
Rolling forecast / reforecast cycleTaskunverified
The reforecast is measured against the approved plan, and inherits its driver structure.

Driver-based model designTaskunverified
The driver structure has to be settled before numbers are loaded into it, or the plan becomes a set of hardcoded line items that cannot be reforecast.
Headcount forecasting and roll-forwardTaskunverified
Headcount is the largest and least reversible cost line, so the plan is built around the hiring plan rather than the other way round.
