> people are not asking to predict for situations with significant changes

That’s for coming up changes. Your predictions will also be of poor quality after a significant change as you lose the link with historical data.

In the end there might be only a small window between two changes where they are worth anything.

To be clear I am not saying you shouldn’t make prediction anyway, just that the effort to come with “a system” is not worth it in a lot of situation.

For context, tech industry has one of the highest turnover, a team losing/gaining a member is not some rare event. A new boss coming in to change process or teams isn’t either.
