  4. Adjust projected completion rate.  This shows the range of completion rates,  based on historical completion rate. 

  5. The manual forecast enables you to adjust the throughput rate.  You might use this if there is not yet any history for the fix version / epic.

    1. Use the number in (7) to decide what is a good manual rate to use

  6. Choose how many recent weeks you want to use to calculate the recent average throughput rate
