The problem
Forecasts that keep moving to the right are a warning sign, but they are hard to see one update at a time. Without a measure, the same optimistic forecast is accepted month after month.
How it works
- Baseline Execution Index. How many of the activities planned to finish by now have actually finished.
- Forecast hit rate. How many activities finished when the previous update said they would.
- Missed promises. The list of activities forecast to finish last period that did not, with their variance.
