Forecasting is a decision-making tool used by many businesses to help in budgeting, planning, and estimating future growth. In the simplest terms, forecasting is the attempt to predict future outcomes based on available data, critical analysis of the past events and management insight.

The most trustworthy forecasts combine both methods to support their strengths and mitigate their weaknesses.
