This article covers how to read and interact with your actual forecast. Read about simulation mode instead.
Reading your actual forecast
Your forecast is a table broken down into two sections: In Progress and Not Started
Here’s what each column tells you
Column | Explanation |
|---|---|
“Epics” or “Versions” | Items that you are forecasting. If an epic or version doesn’t have any remaining work to complete then it’s filtered out. Clicking on the item’s title will take you to either the version’s release page or the epic itself. |
Desired date | The due date in your epic or the release date for your version. |
Desired likelihood | How likely it is that the item will be finished by the desired date. |
Items remaining | The number of items that should be done in order to complete the epic or version (excluding subtasks). |
Forecasted date | Given the data configurations and forecast parameters set, you should finish this item on or before this date. (The likelihood of this outcome reflects your chosen forecast certainty.) |
Reordering items
In actual mode - the epics and versions are grouped by their status. The items that are not yet started can be reprioritized. For more details please see Choosing a forecast certainty
To rearrange the epics or versions order to be forecasted - simple drag the row to the new location. Once you have rearranged all of the epics or versions in order of importance - click on recalculate in the bar that is shown.
