As the year wraps up, many teams are already thinking ahead - reviewing what worked, what didn’t, and how to plan more confidently for the year to come. Forecasting becomes a big part of that conversation, especially after a year full of tight deadlines and “almost accurate” estimates.
Because planning for the future rarely fails due to lack of effort.
It fails when decisions are made without enough visibility into how work actually flowed.
Looking back, it’s not just about what was delivered -
it’s about how long work spent in each stage,
where tasks slowed down,
and which parts of the workflow quietly shaped the timeline.
