Why you should do a forecast post-mortem
Accurate forecasting is a severely underrated skill in modern business and one that you should be looking to improve if you want to maximize the value of your planning and analytics. But the only way to do this is to have a feedback loop where you can look back on the forecast methodologies that you used in the past and assess how they fared when coming up against the uncertainties of the real world.
It’s for this reason, that a forecast post-mortem can be such an eye-opening component of your FP&A journey.
