Setting and achieving realistic growth targets can be difficult. But, it’s a whole lot easier if those targets are based on a solid foundation of planning and forecasting.Â
The FP&A and RevOps experts here at Drivetrain have written detailed articles and guides on several key aspects of sales and revenue planning to help you understand these critical functions at a much deeper level.
Here’s a short list of some of our most popular resources to get you started:

There is a wide variety of financial management platforms and tools on the market today that offer one/more of the core capabilities you need for sales and revenue planning.
Key features to look for include:Â
- Revenue forecasting
- Multi-dimensional revenue modeling
- Scenario planning and what-if analysis
- Sales quota and territory planning
You can look for revenue planning software that has all the capabilities you need in one platform. However, one-size-fits-all solutions rarely offer that. You could also combine several tools to get all the different features you need for your sales and revenue forecasting, but doing so isn’t ideal. The most obvious downside to this approach is the cost. There’s also the time required to onboard and integrate them all, and of course, not all technologies play well together.Â
‍Financial planning and analysis (FP&A) tools generally offer a more comprehensive solution for sales and revenue planning because they support not only these specific activities but also other critical planning processes businesses need to succeed today.
