Use Case
Budget Planning
What does this plan cost?
The Problem
Finance wants a number. Product wants flexibility. Engineering wants headcount. Translating between these three languages happens in disconnected spreadsheets that drift out of sync the moment planning week ends.
How CohesionXL Helps
CohesionXL ties headcount to cost models through job profiles and rate bands. Every scenario produces a budget rollup alongside the delivery plan, so you can compare portfolio configurations on cost, capacity, and timeline simultaneously. Change the plan and the budget updates in real time.
Outcome
One source of truth connecting headcount, delivery plans, and budget — updated in real time as plans evolve.
