## What is Forecast?

Forecast is a team scheduling and resource planning software that streamlines project staffing and workload monitoring. The platform features an intuitive interface that visualizes project pipelines, facilitates task assignments, and helps balance workloads to prevent team burnout. The system maps staffing requirements to project timelines and budgets, schedules team members across multiple projects, and allows for plan adjustments when priorities change. Through integration with Harvest, Forecast connects scheduled time with tracked time, enabling comparison between estimates and actual hours to maintain budget control. The platform enhances transparency by providing teams visibility into project timelines and available bandwidth, which leads to more effective scheduling decisions, improved time management, and increased likelihood of project success.

I use Forecast to track the resourcing of our employees and subcontractors across projects. It provides visibility of leave, expected burn on projects, and employee assignments. Forecast highlights who is already resourced, who has capacity, and allows us to foresee expected burn and invoicing monthly. It also shows project end dates and drop-off dates for each person so they can be lined up with other projects. Forecast is straightforward to set up and use and interfaces with Harvest for project tracking and finances. Resourcing in Forecast appears against the linked project in Harvest as a projected burn of the project's budget. However, it can only link one instance of Forecast to one instance of Harvest.

Pros

I like that Forecast is straightforward to set up and use for organizations it suits. It provides clear top-level information about when a person is covered until, and interfaces with Harvest for project tracking and finances. It highlights visibility of leave, expected project burn, and helps track who is working on which project and when. I find it useful that it allows us to foresee expected burn and invoicing month on month, and it makes it easy to see when projects are expected to finish so that people can be lined up for other projects.

Cons

Forecast only links to one Harvest instance, which doesn't work for organizations that have grown to include multiple business units each with their own Harvest instance. It would be great if it could handle multiple 'organizations' under one tool. Additionally, I wish it could automatically load public holidays, track leave from Harvest or another system, and show this in the Forecast calendar. Also, tracking future engagements or opportunities and future starter people could be improved, as well as resourcing based on a +30-day view instead of manually filling in days between dates.

It had potential but didn’t really fit how our team works. We tried to make it work but ended up switching tools.

Pros

The interface is clean and modern. It’s easy to jump in and start using without a ton of upfront training.

Cons

The forecasting logic didn’t match how we track projects. Customization felt limited and hard to work around.

Easy to train people - harder to always get them to cooperate - but the tool works great when utilized correctly.

Pros

The visual appearance showing availability of team members was concise and easy to navigate. The ability to see the most important information on one screen & then to filter or drill-down from there makes it a great tool.

Cons

Getting users to actually use it correctly is challenging in almost any company.

Pros

Super easy to use, the calendar feature is very straightforward and visually clear. Harvest had some bugs where their "scheduling assistant" feature often did not work, but I find that Forecast specializes in that feature. Keeping track of time and finding time to work with coworkers are extremely simple with Forecast.

Cons

If you are switching from Harvest, you do need to individually carryover all features one by one, which may be tedious. If you do not have a specific project you are working on but are working on internal projects or are helping a coworker with their project, it may be hard to track time because you need a preset "task" in order to track time. I'd recommended having a general "internal" task to track time for work that does not relate to an existing project.

Pros

This tool has made it easy for me to schedule projects and forecast who will be available to do specific job at the company. It's so easily to use and it helps me assign task and distribute the workload.

Cons

For a large organization like ours having lots of drivers and big teams project visualization can get quite overwhelming.

When we raised issues with the product, they refused to accept the premise of the issue and ridiculed us. When it finally became impossible to reject the obvious flaws in the product, they asked us to help them design the solutions. I have no issues giving ideas to a startup to help them improve the product, but I am less inclined to do so after being treated poorly.

Pros

What it is supposed to do, in theory, is a great concept. However, in practice, it doesn’t deliver and is a waste of time and money.

Cons

The product has many fundamental flaws. For example, if you charge a deposit for a project via Forecast, it doesn’t actually credit the deposit against completed work. It is a half baked beta project.

Pros

I really like how it connects together, when I am working on a task, I can just choose that specific tasks, without me writing it. Also I like that it is an app. You can have it in your computer, not the browser.

Cons

I would not use it myself because it is a bit too expensive for me.
