Forecast
Forecast extends Planner, providing the ability for people leaders to forward estimate where people and skill needs will come from over the longer term, normally 12-month horizon, underpinning training, recruitment and future investment needs.
It gives a more forward-looking visibility of resource needs beyond the forth coming period.
Demand teams can enter the forecasted full time equivalent amounts, skills and other notes per source team.
Forecast allows advanced resource planning and proves for longer term conversations, prioritisation and alignment of resource availability.
