Compare your performance to a Forecast scenario
Compare your actual results to a saved forecast scenario (budget, optimistic scenario, pessimistic scenario…) to measure the gap between your assumptions and reality.
Where a Target is a simple goal entered on a metric, a Forecast is a complete forecasting model based on assumptions for growth, churn, expansion, etc. Comparing your actuals to a Forecast scenario lets you measure the accuracy of your forecasts and quickly identify the gaps to correct.
Steps
- Open the chart on which you want to perform the comparison.
- Click Compare above the chart.
- Select Forecast.
- Choose the desired scenario from the list.
The scenario's trajectory is displayed alongside your actual data, with the differences highlighted on the chart.
Reading the differences
The differences between your actuals and the Forecast scenario are immediately readable:
- As a percentage and in absolute value.
- In green for an increase vs the scenario, in red for a decrease.
FAQ
My Forecast scenario does not appear in the list. Why?
Check that the scenario has been saved in Fincome and that it covers the metric displayed on the chart.
What is the difference between a Target and a Forecast?
A Target is a simple goal (single or dynamic value) entered manually on a given metric. A Forecast is a complete forecasting model, based on assumptions for growth, churn, expansion, etc., which produces projections across all your KPIs.
Can I compare several scenarios at once?
You can select one Forecast scenario per chart. To compare several scenarios with each other, go directly to the section dedicated to Forecasts in Fincome.
