Growth Rate based forecasting

This paper explains how to forecast annual Booking based on growth rate. A forecast based on growth rate requires at least four years of historical data. Summary: - Historically, organizations use capacity-based forecasting, in which the average capacity of a salesperson is multiplied by the number of salespeople. - In capacity-based forecasting, growth is therefore perceived as an outcome of a group’s capacity, and often by a single department such as sales or marketing. - It is recommended to use a growth-rate-based forecast for a multi-year forecast due to the inaccuracy of a capacity-based forecast. - A growth-rate-based forecast reflects how the entire system performed over time. - Such a forecast, incorporating the system rather than the individual salespeople, is more accurate because it reflects how every part of the organization contributed in previous years. - A system-based forecast includes the hiring and onboarding process of the HR department.
