Description:  You can use this app to manage your organization’s scenarios and their alternatives.  A single scenario consists of one or more of possible alternatives. Alternatives are for example alternative response options to a threat or natural disaster. A scenario can also be used in capability-based planning and development processes.  A scenario collects different capability-related objects and actual active force elements and allows the user to compare the scenario alternative’s requirement defined by the capabilities with active force elements. A planner can view the crucial personnel, material and training requirements (job, FMPO, METL) linked with each required capability code in the scenario alternative task. This allows the planner to evaluate whether the identified unit is now ready and prepared to undertake the operation at hand. This data is used as the basis for tailored complex readiness and preparedness evaluations or simulations.  A task is a milestone or a reporting level in a scenario alternative.  
A scenario consists of one or more possible alternatives. Alternatives can be alternative response options to a threat or natural disaster. Each alternative includes a set of objects related to a capability code, and they are combined with active force elements at alternative task level.

A scenario is used in capability-based planning and development processes. It collects different objects related to the capability and actual active force elements (or reference force elements) and allows the user to compare the scenario alternative requirement defined by the capabilities assigned to it with active force elements that could possibly fulfil the requirements.

A planner can view the crucial personnel, material and training requirements (job, FMPO, METL) linked to each required capability code in a scenario alternative task. This allows the planner to evaluate whether the identified unit is now ready and prepared to perform the operation at hand. 

This scenario master data set is also used as the basis for any tailored and complex readiness and preparedness evaluations, reporting or simulations.

Two types of scenarios are available:

1.	Preparedness monitoring scenario
2.	Capability development scenario

The Preparedness monitoring scenario is a scenario that is monitored periodically. The aim is to identify shortcomings in capabilities and provide input for different downstream processes, such as material replenishments or any human resources management activities. 

The capability development scenario relates to the introduction of new or upgraded capabilities in defense.
Key features:    Create and update scenarios.   Search for scenarios and sort and filter the scenario lists.   
Business roles: Organizational Planner - Force Element| Organizational Planner - Capabilities
Organizational Planner - Force Element : 
Is responsible for creation and adjustment of organizational structures (Force Elements) in Defense & Security organizations. Initially creates the object and adds minimal data such as Name, Description, Characteristics or Command Relationships.

Organizational Planner - Capabilities : 
Is responsible for the strategic capability planning, driving capability development programs, organizing effective capability sustainment as well as scheduling lifecycle activities in varying planning horizons.
