#99 Annual Planning – Common Pitfalls & How to Fix Them

Janis and Philipp break down the good, the bad, and the ugly of annual planning. From late starts and siloed workflows to unrealistic capacity models and poor communication loops, they share what goes wrong in most companies – and how to fix it.

We cover:

• The most common annual planning pitfalls – and how to avoid them

• Late starts, top-down targets, and siloed processes

• Why RevOps should take the lead in annual planning

• How to align FP&A, HR, and GTM leadership

• The impact of capacity planning, ramp time, and attrition

• Building realistic hiring and pipeline generation models

• The importance of cross-functional workshops and continuous planning

• How to move from static annual planning to adaptive execution
