immediate fix

English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
Adjusting our forecasting methodology for the larger opportunities in our pipeline does not create an immediate fix, as this change moves the expected close of these orders out throughout our license pipelines.

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Edith Kelly, Sheila Wilson

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

agree Deborah Workman : I'd add to that "comprehensive". In other words, though the fix might take care of some things, it doesn't take care of others and may even cause new problems.
