Keep your business plan alive
Manage to your business plan Premier Edition only
Implementation depends on tracking and following up, and that's where plan vs. actual analysis is critical. Track business performance by monitoring the variance between the original plan and how the company actually performed. When things turn out different from the original plan, pay attention - your numbers are telling you something.

The Management Dashboard, new in Version 11.0, gives you a quick visual overview of how your plan is living up to real-world results. Special Dashboard Overview charts for Sales and Expenses let you see Planned, Actual, and Variance results in a single glance.

If you started your plan by importing from QuickBooks, you can even import your real accounting numbers to populate the Actual tables, saving you time. As your plan starts rolling, you will want to revise budgets and forecasts, making course corrections in your Sales Forecast, Profit and Loss, and Milestones Actual tables. At year end, you can even roll your plan forward into the new to continue your implementation and planning.
