Improve the Planner Experience with Groovy (ODTUG)

Due to the overwhelmingly positive feedback from my last KScope presentation, I was asked to repeat the presentation for ODTUG. First of all, I can’t think you all enough for the generous and kind feedback! If you would like to attend, I would love to have you there.

Presentation Summary

You have heard of Groovy, and you probably have heard of how drastically it can improve performance and functionality. The functionality talked about largely misses the focus of planning and forecasting, which is the user experience.

This session will walk through real-word examples implemented at organizations which are focused specifically on improving the user experience. It will highlight how to improve data input and new functionality that can be added which focuses specifically on the planning process. The topics will include everything from improving data entry to identifying issues before they become issues and giving users functionality that was prior only available to administrators. Allowing users to manage metadata effectively, performing multiple transfers at one time in workforce planning, and allowing users to fix data load errors on the fly will all be covered.

Attendees will leave this session with the knowledge and examples that will allow them to go back to their workplaces and use what they learned to improve their applications. They will leave with ideas, specific use cases, and the Groovy code to implement them. If you think the cloud limits your ability to be creative, think again!
