Yes — there are several portfolio planning / portfolio optimization tools that support scenario planning, including cases where demand changes over time. The best fit depends on whether you mean:

  1. Product / project portfolio planning
  2. Supply chain / inventory / demand planning
  3. Capital allocation / financial portfolio planning

Tools that commonly support scenario planning for changing demand

Enterprise portfolio / planning platforms

  • Planview

  • Anaplan

  • Workday Adaptive Planning
    Good for financial and workforce planning with scenario analysis and rolling forecasts.
  • Oracle Primavera / Oracle Cloud EPM

Demand / supply planning tools with scenario capabilities

  • Blue Yonder
  • Kinaxis RapidResponse
  • o9 Solutions
  • ToolsGroup These are especially good if your “portfolio” is tied to products, inventory, or supply chain capacity and demand shifts are central.

What to look for

If changing demand is your main concern, look for tools that support:

  • What-if scenarios
  • Rolling forecasts
  • Demand sensing / demand forecasting
  • Capacity constraints
  • Sensitivity analysis
  • Multi-scenario comparison
  • Versioning and assumption management

Quick recommendation
