Display the Calculate Forecast Wizard

Display the Calculate Forecast wizard to run the Calculate Forecast utility.

This process removes the forecast for the previous month, so that the actual costs are not doubled, and respreads the Estimate to Complete over the forecast dates.

You must run the Calculate Forecast utility to keep the forecast accurate for each status period. Since statistical forecasts require that actual costs are loaded and that earned value is calculated for the period, forecasting is performed at the end of the status period.

To display the Calculate Forecast wizard, take one of the following actions:

  • In the Status group on the Processes tab, click Calculate Forecast.
  • In the Cobra Explorer, select the Projects group bar, right-click the Projects pane, and select Calculate Forecast on the shortcut menu.
