Rolling Forecast

Definitions

1. A forecast that is updated continuously by extending the planning horizon forward as each period closes, rather than being fixed once per year. Rolling forecasts help companies adapt faster when markets are unstable.

   In plain English: A forecast that gets updated continuously as time moves forward.

   Example: "The CFO replaced annual planning with a rolling forecast because demand had become too volatile."
