  • Details behind confidence metrics in predictive forecaster
  • Positive is being in a system & having data housed there
  • Positive around ability to report/ dashboard
  • Negative is time constraints and disconnect on data inputs in Workday Adaptive Planning vs an exce
  • Negative is configurability/customization in the system
Not much - Very excited about predictive forecaster, however I can't be comfortable using & presenting this feature until there's detail on how the system landed there and what supports confidence metrics
Implementation of workflow for budget/forecast process
Integrations are not straight forward & often break. Reporting is fairly simple, but nuanced & lacks configurability
New model building can be difficult without a template or sample
