alt Hacker NewsExcel (e spreadsheets) is the best quantitative planning piece of software.
There is no other planning tool in the software industry that can answer “what if I changed that” as seamlessly as excel.
Planning is not about its absolute numbers but about its sensitivity to inputs and assumptions.

Absolutely. And the data and code being stored all in one file makes it exceptionally nimble for the planning phase. You can generally count on any stakeholder in your org being able to handle it.

Can you give an example of what you mean by "planning?"

For better or worse...
A single spreadsheet used locally is probably the best imaginable tool for answering "what if I changed that."
That same sheet shared across an organization suddenly becomes a game of "what caused that change."
