We will start this course with a brief overview of rolling financial forecasts and how they are used in the project management domain. We will then focus on the typical rules of the game including tolerance levels towards monthly and total variances, including positive and negative discrepancies.Also, we will discuss one of the key rules of rolling forecasts that states that if your Total Forecast at any point of time ends up being less than Total Budget, the variance will be taken away from you forever.The course will also discuss a very popular in certain circles "+/-10% estimation accuracy" myth and the ways senior sponsors circumvent it.The main section of this course is dedicated to the step-by-step analysis of the rolling financial forecast on a real project. We will discuss the creation of the initial forecast and several ways of eliciting estimates including your team's assessments as well as historical data and 90% confidence levels. As we progress through project timeline, we will examine how to protect your Total Contingency, how to address Monthly Variances (both positive and negative), how to deal with project delays and how to gradually return the contingency fund back to the PMO.
