In short

One engine for every margin figure

KEEL's Forecast screen shows planned value, actual to date, remaining backlog, forecast landing, unbilled work in progress and margin variance, by account and by practice. The current month blends actuals so far with the remaining staffing plan. The dashboards and the Forecast screen read the same engine, so their figures cannot disagree.

Questions

Common questions

Can the dashboard and the forecast disagree?

No. Both read the same calculation engine.

How far down can I drill?

From practice through partner, account, engagement, person and week to the individual timesheet line, with its approver and timestamp.

Is the forecast live?

The current month combines actuals recorded so far with the remaining staffing plan, so it updates as time is approved.

Yes. The Forecast screen switches between account and practice views.
