Availability targets for time series forecasting models are commercial commitments, whatever the engineering team calls them. Most outages involving forecasting models are triggered by a change somebody considered routine. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for this part of technology and systems delivery, not for observers of it. It treats time series forecasting models as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to this area of technology and systems delivery in an order their organisation can absorb. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of forecasting models rather than to abstract argument. Plans for time series forecasting models often fail at the handover point between functions. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better forecasting models is rarely technical. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the technology and systems delivery discipline survives a hostile question.
