How KeyedIn Can Support You and Your Business with More Accurate Forecasting

No one expects you to be able to predict the future. What the business does expect, is that you understand what could happen and how this could impact project delivery and business outcomes.

Features

Demand Forecasting

Build demand forecasts in the way that your business needs. We provide you with the flexibility to plan in multiple directions and by different resource groups to allow you to check the feasibility of work and identify demand ‘hot-spots’.

Budgeting

Develop a deeper understanding of project budgets. We provide you with complete clarity on budgeted resource, costs, and revenue. And as the project progresses, track actuals against the budget baseline to allow for accurate reforecasting.

Capacity Planning

Cut through the noise of your organizational structure. We give you the opportunity to visualize what the organization can do (capacity) vs what’s needed (demand) vs what’s allocated (supply) and vs what’s really happening during delivery (actuals).

Task Based Forecast Generation

Remove the ‘unknown’ from the PMO. Create strategic forecasts based on detailed task plans. We provide you with the ability to identify demand ‘hot-spots’ and check the feasibility of projects by rolling up task plans into strategic forecasts.

Project Expenditure

Take control of your project costs. We provide you with not just the ability to track actuals vs estimated costs but with the sought-after ability to model potentially sensitive change scenarios prior to making strategic decisions.

Agile Team Resourcing

Support the business to deliver as it needs to, whether that this is traditional or agile. We provide you with the tools to support both methodologies, where teams can be allocated to projects at 100% or at a selected percentage over a given period with forecasts automatically updated.

Scenario Planning

Reduce uncertainty and speed up decision making. We provide you with the tools to visualize potential scenarios, simply identify resource implications, score projects based on contribution to KPIs and quickly assess the impact of initiatives upon each other through dependency assessment.

Benefits Management

Become the strategic advisor in your business. We provide you with the ability to link forecasted benefits back to company strategy, allowing your business to grow and thrive as it needs to, and simplify project selection based on contribution to strategic goals.

Cost Management

Master financial planning. We provide you with the tools to roll-up individual projects costs up to portfolio and program levels, allowing the PMO to provide accurate re-planning, re-forecasting, and financial reporting.
