Plan-actual often hides the truth 🤔

There is a type of analysis called plan-actual. We look at performance over N days, months, quarters.
If we met the plan, we're great; if not, heads will roll 😡

But if we look at it directly, we won't notice how over the course of a year, just a couple of bad periods can ruin our plan. To see the performance trend, it's worth using calculations with a cumulative total.

A new article about this approach has been published, you can read it at the link:

And in the comments, I shared an Excel template with a visual comparison of this analysis.
You can download it and plug in your own values.
Calculations and charts will update automatically 🔥

Have you ever had a situation where the plan was met ALMOST always, but the boss was still gloomy at the end of the year? 😂
