“Ready to level up your forecasting game? Join Collen to learn how to turn data you already have into crystal-ball-level insights for nailing accurate product delivery dates without hours of soul-crushing estimation meetings.
Think forecasting’s just about making wild guesses? Think again. We’re talking about getting down with probabilistic forecasting – a cool, smart way to predict the future by playing with the probabilities. And the star of the show? Monte Carlo simulations. Yep, it sounds fancy, but by the end of our time together, you’ll be whipping up your own simulations like a pro.
No yawn-inducing lectures here. We will be getting our hands dirty with real data from your teams and create simulations using simple spreadsheets. You’ll learn how to gather your data, shake it up with some variables (and maybe some dice!), and then bam – out comes a range of possible outcomes, giving you the full picture of what to expect and when to expect it.
Whether you’re managing projects, crunching numbers, or leading a team, you’ll walk away with some serious forecasting firepower. Colleen will guide you through every step, ensuring you know how to apply what you’ve learned to your projects and that you have the tools to communicate delivery risk with your stakeholder and leaders. Say goodbye to guessing games and hello to data-driven decisions that will set your team up for success.
