The present disclosure relates to 
scenario-management systems for use in resource-allocation systems. In an exemplary embodiment, a 
scenario editor comprises means for creating, editing, and storing business rules, rule groups, and in a 
database; and means for creating links among selected business rules, rule groups, and scenarios, such that changes to a first 
business rule, rule group, or 
scenario are reflected in a second 
business rule, rule group, or scenario linked to the first. In further embodiments, the scenario editor further comprises means for associating a scenario with a particular time period. In a further exemplary embodiment, a scenario-
management system comprises a 
central database of business rules, and a processor configured to identify an active scenario, create a 
list of rule IDs corresponding to the business rules associated with the active scenario, and pass the 
list of rule IDs to a resource-allocation module.
