A clear, structured session that delivers practical forecasts without the overhead of a long consulting engagement — professional, pragmatic, and outcome-focused.

Why this Lab?

Most leaders know the theory of agile forecasting — few have applied it in a way that delivers high-confidence plans stakeholders can trust.

This isn’t training for training’s sake. It’s a focused working session where we apply Source Agility’s 10-Point Delivery Forecasting Playbook directly to your world.

What You Get

Pre-session prep – a short questionnaire so we understand your delivery environment and key challenges.
2-hour live session – facilitated by an experienced delivery specialist, working hands-on with your delivery management team and sponsor.
Artefact handover – leave with your first burn-up chart constructed against your delivery data (assumes all required inputs are available; if not, you’ll have a clear plan for what needs to change to build your forecasting model).
The 10-Point Playbook – a comprehensive 12-page, 2,500-word forecasting guide covering practices, pitfalls, management responsibilities, patterns and anti-patterns, and lifecycle integration.
Post-session check-in – a short follow-up to answer questions and help you embed next steps.

Why Bring Executives and Delivery Managers Together?

Forecasting efforts often fail not because the maths is wrong, but because executives and delivery management teams aren’t aligned on what forecasting really means.

The Lab deliberately brings both perspectives into one room:

Executives gain visibility into the mechanics of how forecasts are built.
Delivery managers gain clarity on what leaders actually need for confident decision-making.
Together, you leave with one shared language and a unified understanding of what it takes to maintain predictable delivery.

Outcomes

By the end of the Lab, you will have:

A live forecast (or readiness plan) for one of your initiatives.
Clarity on where capability gaps exist in your forecasting system.
A proven playbook to continue building high-confidence forecasts.
Alignment between sponsor and delivery managers on forecasting expectations.

Who It’s For

CTOs, CIOs, and Heads of Delivery sponsoring portfolios or programs.
Program, portfolio, or delivery managers accountable for producing forecasts.
Groups that want a pragmatic, hands-on way to align sponsor expectations with delivery planning reality.
