Abstract
The invention provides one or more displays to assist a user in managing inventory for one or more migration components in a migration. In particular, forecast data for each migration component is generated based on migration data for one or more targets and a plurality of time frames. One or more displays are generated that include the forecast data, migration data, and/or inventory data for the migration components.

A method of managing inventory for a migration, the method comprising:
- obtaining target data for a set of targets, wherein the target data for each target in the set of targets includes migration data for at least one migration component;
- obtaining a plurality of time frames, wherein a start time frame is automatically determined based on a current date;
- generating forecast data for each of the at least one migration component based on the migration data and the plurality of time frames;
- and
- generating a forecast display that includes the forecast data for each of the at least one migration component.
