Scenario planning
In the space planning process, scenarios satisfy the requirement
to establish a space plan of record or to evaluate options that are
related to unplanned events. The process can be initiated by routine
planning cycles, strategic initiatives, an emergency response, or
a business change event. The space planning process also can be used
to develop feasibility studies or contingency plans that do not go
into an execution phase.
Space planning scenarios
Scenarios are the alternative proposed solutions, what-if options, or feasibility studies that are under consideration for a space plan.
Supply and demand analysis
In space planning, supply and demand analysis is a fit or gap analysis across time of the demand for business space and the supply of buildings or space in the current or planned portfolio.
Stack scenario planning
Stack scenario planning uses a graphical display of space supply and demand that is overlaid to determine space fit and gaps for a group of locations. Stacking is a high-level space planning tool that is used to manage people movement between floors at the organizational group level. Within this tab, users can access stack plans linked to specific floor-plan scenarios and adjust space allocations to balance organizational needs with available space. This tool is useful when planning relocations between floors.
Evaluating and approving scenarios
After you define scenarios, you can do a side-by-side comparison before you recommend a scenario for approval.
Scenario metrics
IBM Maximo Real Estate and Facilities Strategic Facility Planning displays a set of scenario metrics intended to guide workplace planners toward the desired goals that are set for space plans. Scenario metrics display on the Scenario Evaluation tab in a space plan.
