Scenario planning methods have been used since the 1950s. However, there is not a widely used definition within this field of study. For this field to evolve adequately, a comprehensive understanding of an organization’s purpose to use it is essential. This article aimed to present the purposes of scenario planning that were identified through a literature review of scenarios and scenario planning. Therefore, we carried out a research, in which we analyzed 33 scientific and technical documents whose authors have defined scenarios and scenario planning. The results show 15 different purposes for scenario planning, which we consolidated into six categories that represent different usages of this process. Then, we generated insights for both researchers and practitioners who seek a nuanced comprehension of the use of these methods.
