Forecasts are math, not promises

What a forecast actually looks like

Every milestone gets three completion dates: best case (everything goes right), expected (based on recent velocity), and risk-adjusted (accounting for uncertainty and multitasking). As your team completes work, the forecasts recalculate automatically. No manual date-picking. No spreadsheet formulas.

Built on velocity, not vibes

GoalPath tracks how much work your team completes each week and uses that data to project forward. The forecast accounts for real-world factors that manual estimates miss:

• ✓Actual team velocity over recent weeks, not a single optimistic guess
• ✓Multitasking penalties — teams working on multiple milestones deliver less per milestone
• ✓Confidence levels that widen when velocity is inconsistent
• ✓Remaining work scope, updated as items are added or completed

Forecasts update themselves

Every time work is completed, the forecast recalculates. If velocity drops because the team is pulled into support work, the forecast reflects that within a week. If scope grows because someone adds 'one more thing,' the new completion date appears immediately. No one needs to remember to update a spreadsheet.

The conversation shifts from 'when' to 'what'

When forecasts are transparent and automatic, stakeholders stop asking 'when will this ship?' and start asking better questions: 'What can we cut to hit the deadline?' or 'Is this risk worth taking?' GoalPath makes the trade-offs visible so decisions happen earlier — before urgency replaces reason.

Included in every progress report

Forecast changes are surfaced automatically in weekly progress reports. When a milestone's expected completion date shifts, stakeholders see the change and the reason — without anyone scheduling a meeting to deliver the bad news.
