Forecast

A prediction of future project conditions and events, developed from the information and knowledge available at the time it is produced.

Key Points

  • Based on current data, trends, assumptions, and known risks at the time of preparation.
  • Updated regularly as new performance information becomes available.
  • May be quantitative (e.g., EAC, ETC, finish date) or qualitative (narrative outlooks).
  • Accuracy depends on data quality and method; uncertainty remains and should be communicated.

Example

Midway through a construction project, the project manager reviews CPI and SPI and updates the forecast to show a 6% cost overrun and a two-week schedule delay if current trends continue.

PMP Example Question

During a monthly review, the project manager uses actual cost and CPI to compute a new estimate at completion (EAC). What is this activity an example of?

  1. Baseline control
  2. Forecasting
  3. Scope validation
  4. Qualitative risk analysis

Correct Answer: B — Forecasting: predicting future results using current information

Explanation: Recalculating EAC uses present performance data to estimate future cost outcomes, which is forecasting.

Advanced Project Management — Measuring Project Performance

Move beyond guesswork and status reporting. This course helps you measure real progress, spot problems early, and make confident decisions using proven project performance techniques. If you manage complex projects and want clearer visibility and control, this course is built for you.

This is not abstract theory. You’ll work step by step through Earned Value Management (EVM), learning how cost, schedule, and scope come together to show true performance. You’ll build a solid foundation in EVM concepts, understand why formulas work, and learn how performance data actually supports leadership decisions.

You’ll master Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), control accounts, and budget baselines, then apply core EVM metrics like EAC, TCPI, and variance analysis. Through a detailed real-world example, you’ll forecast outcomes, analyze trends, and understand contingencies and management reserves with confidence.

Learn how experienced project managers monitor performance, communicate results clearly, and take corrective action before projects slip. With practical exercises and hands-on analysis, you’ll be ready to apply EVM immediately. Enroll now and start managing performance with clarity and control.
