Renewal preparation · PDF and editable text
The Workiva Renewal Playbook
Match the subscription to reporting obligations before negotiating the number.
Workiva scope is more than a user count. Establish the solutions, entities, reporting cycles, access and implementation responsibilities your organization needs, then test the renewal proposal against that evidence.

Who this is for
For procurement, finance and the relevant business and technology owners preparing a Workiva renewal. This is a commercial preparation resource, not technical implementation advice.
Start with the commercial questions
1. Map obligations and solutions
Identify entities, reporting requirements, supported solutions and the applicable contract schedule.
2. Reconcile access without impairing control
Have reporting and control owners validate access, audit history and workflow needs before requesting any reduction.
3. Negotiate the full commitment
Separate subscriptions, implementation and extra services. Make additions, reductions, future pricing and exit requirements explicit.
Start with the contract, not the headline discount
Record the exact product and edition, billing unit, committed quantity, measurement period and renewal notice date. Keep software fees separate from services and other charges. A reduction in operational use does not automatically reduce a contractual minimum.
The paid guide adds a worked, clearly labeled hypothetical example and seven manual worksheets. Those examples are arithmetic under stated assumptions—not confidential customer terms or achieved vendor prices.
What is in the download

- Seven printable worksheets covering contract facts, reconciliation, scope, scenarios, negotiation priorities, timeline and decision brief.

- Dated official references, getting-started instructions, cover artwork and internal business-use license.

Common questions
Does this establish my licensing entitlement?
No. Your executed agreement, product version and supplier-confirmed scope govern. Use the worksheets to organize the evidence and unresolved questions.
Can I use this without sharing my contract?
Yes. The download is used locally by your team. You do not need to upload contract details to RenewalIQ.
