The systematic scenario analysis consists of defining the problem by
considering what to achieve and in what time frame, that leads to the scale of
the plan and scenarios that to test, then gather the data to identify the key
factors, trends and uncertainties and next to differentiate the certainties from
uncertainties by prioritizing the largest significant uncertainties in the top of
the priority list, after this developing scenario from top uncertainty and take a
moderately good outcome and moderately bad outcome and develop the
scenarios or story of the future and repeat it, lastly use the scenarios in the
