  1. Not applicable: When there is no risk scenario assigned, this task is unlikely to be closeable in that forecast period.
  2. Committed: This is the lowest amount of revenue expected for the time period. Calculate this by adding the revenue that you’ve already won, with the deals that you’ve gotten a verbal go ahead.
  3. Likely: This is everything in the committed category, plus a few other deals that are close to closing, and are likely to be completed before the end of the time period.
  4. Best case: This category is everything in the committed category, plus the deals that need a pretty significant amount of time to close.

Use these formulas to create a solid forecast. You can do this using:
