Forecasting & Planning

Methods, evaluation techniques, and operational processes for demand, financial and capacity forecasting.

Workbook

Forecasting & Planning Workbook

Interactive workbook with step-by-step problem framing, a data-preparation checklist, baseline forecast choices, seasonal decomposition cues, configurable backtesting plan, selectable error metrics (including CRPS for probabilistic forecasts), and a scenario-planning worksheet that links forecasts to concrete operational decisions (inventory, staffing, budgets). Responses are saved so teams can iterate, compare runs, and track follow-through.

Forecasting & Planning — Validation & Backtest Workflow

An operational, step-by-step workflow to validate forecasting models, design and run backtests, select appropriate error metrics and horizons, generate probabilistic scenarios, and convert forecast outputs into S&OP, staffing, and inventory plans. Each step lists ownership, required artifacts, acceptance criteria, and common pitfalls so forecasts become reliable inputs for decisions.

Forecasting Backtest & Evaluation Workbook

A practical, step-by-step workbook that guides teams through designing and running robust backtests, choosing and interpreting error metrics (deterministic and probabilistic), checking seasonality and calendar effects, and turning forecast evaluations into operational triggers and improvement actions. Includes templates, sample calculations, checklists, and reflective exercises planners can adapt to their data and cadence.

Forecasting Evaluation Workbook & Backtesting Examples

An interactive workbook that guides teams through practical backtesting, computes common error metrics, produces visual diagnostics, and captures decision rules that connect forecasts to operational actions. Includes templates for rolling and holdout backtests, metric selection, decomposition checks, and a place to save results and interpretation notes.

Forecast Scenario Workbook & Action Plan Template

An interactive workbook that guides teams to create baseline, optimistic, and pessimistic forecast scenarios, assign probabilities, identify key drivers and sensitivities, define concrete operational actions and triggers, and capture monitoring signals, owners, and communication plans. Saves responses so scenarios become actionable plans.
