⭐Forecasting is the process of making predictions of the future based on past and present data and most commonly by analysis of trends.
⭐uses and limitations--
The time frame for a sales forecast varies from a week or month to a year or more. The two major types of forecasts are qualitative and quantitative. A qualitative forecast uses information from sales staff and other sources
⭐limitation--
Qualitative forecasting often gets information from different departments of a business, such as the sales force, and even from the product's customers. Employees who do not cooperate across departments or employees with strong opinions can skew the results

hope it helps
