What do you like best about Forecast?

The solution also offers in-depth insights that every member can take a look at. This level of collaboration paves the way to higher efficiency, as everyone is aware of the state of projects and are aware of what they can do to be more productive.

Furthermore, Forecast has time tracking and scheduling tools that let managers and team leaders delegate tasks to those who are able to complete them efficaciously. With these, each member can prioritize immediate responsibilities so that the team can meet its deadlines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Helpful way to see what the team's projected bandwith is!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Forecast?

I like being able to see what I'm going to be doing without having to bug anyone, as well as seeing which of my co-workers have bandwidth in case I need a hand on something, without having to ask around. You can also see if you have gone below or over your projected hours as it integrates with Harvest, the time tracker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Forecast?

Sometimes it feels like it's hard to have a recurring project time (say 40 hours a week on a project for months) and add in PTO, it seems like you're working a ton of hours that week unless you go in and tweak each individual day, which is sort of tedious. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Forecast?

There is definitely a learning curve when you first start using it. Also I wish it gave you more reporting options in terms of scheduling delivery, timing options and just more metrics overall. I also would like it to have more training materials to help you when you begin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Forecast is the way we keep track of resource allotment within the company. We work under a contractor system so this is also the way we keep track of projects and when each statement of work is up. My responsibility is to keep everything up to date and ensuring projects and people are distributed correctly and dates are always updated.
