Forecast
Over Forecast
Prognose organiseert de planning van je team in visuele plannen waarmee je je
aankomende projecten in kaart kunt brengen en slimmere beslissingen kunt nemen over middelen. Met de kleurgecodeerde visuele plannen van Forecast kun je gemakkelijk zien voor hoe lang een project gepland is, wie waar aan werkt en wie er overboekt is.
Met Forecast kun je mensen met gemak aan projecten toewijzen en je plannen vervolgens per project of per persoon bekijken. Rode balken geven aan wanneer een werknemer overboekt is, dus je kunt projecten en deadlines verplaatsen voordat je medewerkers doordraaien. Het is ook gemakkelijk te zien wanneer mensen de beschikbaarheid hebben om een nieuw project aan te nemen en precies hoeveel tijd ze eraan kunnen besteden. Deel je plannen met het hele team, zodat iedereen weet waar ze aan moeten werken en wanneer.
Integreer Forecast met zijn zuster-app Harvest om inzicht te krijgen in de projectvoortgang en je schattingen en planning te verbeteren. De integratie brengt de uren die je in Forecast hebt gepland over naar Harvest, zodat je precies kunt zien wanneer een project het budget zal overschrijden. Bovendien kun je de tijd die je voor iemand in Forecast hebt gepland vergelijken met de tijd die ze daadwerkelijk hebben geregistreerd in Harvest, zodat je mogelijke probleemgebieden kunt opsporen.

Bird's Eye View for Project Planning
Beoordeeld op 25/9/2019

Forecast is a great little tool for project managers and directors, allowing them to organise and get an overview of upcoming tasks and projects for different teams as well as individual employees.
Pluspunten
Forecast was probably the best innovation from Harvest in recent years. Even though the parent tool is in dire need of a refresh, Forecast gives managers a bird's eye view of their upcoming projects, allowing them to individually assign tasks and distribute the workload.
Minpunten
Despite the fact that it is a great forecasting tool, project visualisation can get a bit overwhelming on larger organisations with bigger teams.

Intuitive Time Planning Software That Adapts to Any Team Size

The software works like a dream if your organization has the depth of project management/trafficking skill to understand how to balance its functions with the needs of the people captured by the system. This is NOT a great software for agile environments in my opinion.
Pluspunten
Forecast (and its partner Harvest) make for a powerful program that can assist in planning any work that requires team effort. The process is easy, the interface readily understandable. Setup is very simple and new projects are easily managed in Forecast. You can be as detailed as you'd like, or very high-level. Perfect for traffic management, not so great for creativity.
Minpunten
This isn't a software for agile environments, and it's VERY easy for project managers to get caught in the objective of making red into green (a person is over budgeted time allotments versus a person has time to do the work) rather than thinking about what they're actually splitting or assigning. This can be a big problem in creative environments where team members may need large chunks of time for thinking, creating, or researching.

A good (almost brilliant) project management SaaS tool

We use Asana and Forecast to manage time allocation to tasks, and use Forecast to plan out our resource allocation.
Harvest Forecast seem to work well for us when planning work schedules over the next few weeks, but we do not seem to successfully use this for longer term project management. We use Harvest Forecast daily - it has become mission critical to the successful running of our business.
However we resort to spreadsheets (and Asana) to manage longer term forecasts, and for this have marked it down a star. I suspect that this is not the fault of the software per se, but our work flow process from Asana making this just too clumsy.
Still, Harvest Forecast a good, stable, well written piece of software. It is reasonably priced and one of the best methods to properly forecast project-based work.
Pluspunten
Forecast is easy to use and does the job as a forecast management tool for us. The ease of use should not be underestimated - we have trialed many other project management tools and they were just too hard to set up.
Moreover the integration to our Harvest itself (a time tracker) makes this much more powerful than a classic project management tool.
We use it to manage our software development processes, which has a mix of short 1-2 days tasks and longer multi-month projects.
Forecast and has some neat features: particularly like the quick way of setting up milestones.
Forecast now also allows time planning around weekends so you can accommodate over time and will work in countries where the weekend is not Saturday and Sunday.
Minpunten
The integration method to Harvest Forecast is lumpy. You have to manually select which products in Forecast you import, and it is not perfectly linked, so change a name in, say, Asana and you have to manually fill this in.
It is hard to include public holidays.

Useful tool for planning team members' time but not the most intuitive

Overall, Forecast is a time saver for managing teams, and the feedback from the team members is that it helps co-ordinate their week ahead and know what they need to be working on. If they can work on improving the design and layout, it could be the perfect team management system.
Pluspunten
Forecast's direct integration with Harvest (time tracking) makes it a simple and easy process to assign tasks to a team member in Forecast and have it automatically appear in Harvest for them to log time against, helping streamline the process and reducing the number of steps.
Minpunten
While the interface for Forecast is fairly easy to use, it isn't all that intuitive. It can be difficult to see what a team member is working on, and if there's a few people on the team, there is a lot of faffing around to open up each team member's list and see what they're assigned to.

Overall, it's a very helpful tool that keeps our business running. I think it's a great tool and would recommend to others.
Pluspunten
It makes it easy to schedule our team's days and weeks while also prioritizing projects. It also is helpful per team member to keep track of your projects, and set milestones for the projects ahead of time.
Minpunten
The only thing I don't like about this software is when you shift things around if a new project comes in or an old drops off, it's a little challenging to do because you have to click every single element after that project. Would be easier if there was a "bump" feature of some sort.
