Compare various planning scenarios with your current or default plan to assess
different combinations of projects and demands in your portfolio for execution. You can
perform a what-if analysis and determine the planning scenario that optimally achieves the
target budget and uses your resources.

## Antes de Iniciar

Ensure that you have created up to four planning scenarios and selected projects and
demands for execution. For more information, see [Create planning scenarios](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/LQLUgA01lw3Cig4KIC2cjg "Create planning scenarios with different combinations of projects and demands in your portfolio. Experiment with different scenarios to plan your budget expenditure for a fiscal year.") and [Select demands and projects for portfolio planning](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/uFaIU7L8cNwSwn~yvSbe8A "After you create a planning scenario, select the demands and projects to include in budget planning. You can view all the demands and projects for the selected fiscal year or planning window with their planned cost and priorities to finalize them for execution.").

2. In the Plan tab of the Portfolio Planning Workbench, click Compare Scenarios.  
   The Compare Scenarios page displays all the planning scenarios.
3. Compare different aspects of the scenarios such as costs, number of projects and demands, benefit amount, and actuals for the selected projects and demands.
4. Compare the variance between the scenarios for costs, number of projects and demands, benefit amount, actuals for the selected projects and demands, and so on.  
   The variance value for different fields is displayed in red or green color. For example, if the planned cost of a scenario is greater than the planned cost of the confirmed plan, the planned cost variance is displayed in red. Or if the benefit amount of a scenario is greater than the benefit amount of the confirmed plan, the benefit amount variance is displayed in green.

## O que Fazer Depois
