Overview: Forecasting isn't just for the weather, but there are some similarities between IT and meteorology - both depend on watching trends, putting historical data into context, and hoping for sunny, trouble-free days. There's one big difference, though: IT managers have some control over their company's weather. Typically, there are two approaches to IT forecasting: qualitative and quantitative. The former uses historical consumption to predict future needs, while the latter adds real-world insight in an effort to improve forecasts. To create a crackerjack forecast, a good planner will not only combine both approaches and develop a plan that is continually refreshed on a regular basis but also will work to get other executives and departments to buy into forecasting as well.
