Adaptive Insights, a Workday company, is a cloud-based corporate performance management platform. The GitLab FP&A team utilizes Adaptive Inisghts to plan, budget, and forecast GitLab's planning cycles.
One of the most powerful features of Adaptive Insights is versioning. Adminstrators can create, edit, and lock versions of a plan.
Each version of GitLab should specify the fiscal year and label of the plan / forecast. Below is a few examples of the nomenclature used at GitLab

Within Adpative, the administrator can assign a name, position, user name, home page, time zone, country, role, and level(s) for each user. The adminstrator can also reset the password, if needed, for the User. Users should use Okta to sign into Adaptive Insights but keep their password in One Password when assigned one.

Once sign off is approved, a user should ask an Adaptive Insights administrator to move the folder from Sandbox to the production ready folder.
