Leading Forecast Method

  • Estimate at Completion

    The total of the estimated value at completion of this task or project. Based on this EAC input, LN can determine the ETC amount.

  • Estimate to Complete

    Based on a specific date, the ETC amount must be added to the actual costs (actuals) already registered to complete the task or project. Together, these amounts will equal the EAC amount.

  • Estimated Extra Costs

    Together with the budget already defined, the expected extra costs to this budget make up the total forecast. This total does not necessarily equal the EAC amount. Therefore, LN will not calculate this amount if ETC or EAC is the leading forecast method.
