Forecast overview

What is Forecast?

Forecast organizes your team’s schedule into visual plans that let you map out your upcoming projects and make smarter resourcing decisions. Forecast's color-coded visual plans make it easy to see how long a project is scheduled to take, who's working on what, and who's overbooked.

Forecast makes it easy to assign people to projects and then view your plans either by project or by people. Red bars indicate when an employee is overbooked, so you can move projects and deadlines around before they become burnt out. It's also easy to see when someone has availability to take on a new project and exactly how much time they can devote to it. Share your plans with the entire team so everyone knows what they should be working on, and when.

Integrate Forecast with its sister app Harvest to gain insight into project progress and improve your estimating and scheduling. The integration brings the hours you've scheduled in Forecast into Harvest, so you can see exactly when a project will go over budget. Plus you can compare the time you scheduled for someone in Forecast with the time they actually tracked in Harvest, letting you pinpoint potential problem areas.

Key benefits of using Forecast

  • Map out project plans in Forecast so you can see exactly how long a project is going to take and who's available to work on it.
  • Make smarter resourcing decisions with the help of Forecast's color-coded capacity graphs. See who has availability to take on new work and who's overbooked.
  • Keep projects on track with the Harvest integration. See when a project is projected to go over budget so you can make adjustments or talk to your client.
  • Pinpoint problem areas with a report that allows you to see where the actual work your team is doing deviates from what you anticipated.
  • Improve your estimates on future projects by seeing exactly where your schedule was off.

    “As a fan of Harvest, I find that working with Harvest forecast is just as easy to use. This is a great tool for anyone who doesn't have a forecaster built into their project management software.”

    Cons
    “The product has many fundamental flaws. For example, if you charge a deposit for a project via Forecast, it doesn’t actually credit the deposit against completed work.”

    “An early beta product that doesn’t work, with a premium product price and arrogant culture.”

    “That also means we can prevent time collisions for project planning purposes and figure out where we went wrong if timelines are missed.”
