Driver-based planning and forecasting is generally considered a more modern approach to forecasting, where key drivers and correlation linkages are created and used to forecast performance.

When done in Excel, the challenge is that the model and its underlying assumptions are not transparent to stakeholders and are dependent on the person running the model. Modelling done in a planning system makes it easily accessible and transparent. However, even using a system for modelling can lead to multiple issues, such as excessive standardisation and manual work required to pull the data into a system.In Figure 1, this comparison helps illustrate why many FP&A teams i
