FORECAST GOVERNANCE
The forecast is a number. The review is the intelligence behind it.
Most organisations can tell you what the current EAC is. The harder questions are why it moved, what assumptions changed, what exposures remain and what needs to happen next.
Harvux governs that review from one period to the next.
Request a briefingTHE POSITION
Start with what changed.
The movement matters, but the number alone does not explain the position.
THE RATIONALE
Preserve why the forecast moved while the people making the decision still remember.
Harvux captures the rationale behind the movement, the assumptions supporting the current position and the exposures that could still change it.
MANAGEMENT VIEW
A forecast can be numerically precise without being equally certain.
Management confidence records how strongly the team believes in the current position alongside the assumptions and exposures behind it.
WHAT IS DRIVING THE POSITION
Connect the forecast discussion to the Risks and Events behind it.
A forecast movement often has a delivery story behind it. Harvux allows the review to reference the Risks and Events influencing the current position rather than leaving the explanation buried in commentary.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
A review should leave more than a set of meeting minutes.
Forward items record what needs to be resolved, tested or followed up before the next review.
When the next review begins, the previous commitments remain part of the conversation.
PERIOD TO PERIOD
Keep the thread from one review to the next.
Harvux links each review to the previous period so the project can see how the position evolved and what happened to the actions and assumptions carried forward.
