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.

AI for Project Managers — Build Plans Faster, Lead Better

Turn messy inputs into structured project plans in minutes. If you are a project manager tired of spending hours on documentation, this course shows you how to use AI to work faster while staying fully in control.

This is not a generic AI course. You will learn how to use AI as a practical co-pilot to build real project artifacts—charters, WBS, schedules, risk registers, and executive reports—using structured, reliable prompt frameworks.

You will also learn how to keep your project aligned across scope, schedule, cost, and risk, and how to interpret performance data like Earned Value Management to support better decisions and communication.

Everything is designed for immediate use. You get ready-to-use prompt templates and workflows you can apply right away in your projects. Watch the video to see how it works and start building your first AI-supported project plan.
