Through a critical review of forecasting method approaches, a number of issues are highlighted that concern of the types of forecasting approach, forecasting project cost performance at completion, cost variances in project performance, other critical parameters of project performance to be incorporated along with cost and ineffective methods in generating reliable and timely results and therefore providing early warning of cost performance overruns. Also, it provides fundamental for forecasting system designed for adaptability in a challenging environment and focused throughout on the delivering successful project. |
