A time horizon is a point of time in the future at which the EA process or its outcomes are achieved or evaluated. This is sometimes referred to as the planning horizon. Sometimes this is a relatively short time in the future and sometimes it is a much longer period. Generally speaking, EA needs to consider a mix of different time scales. Short term can be regarded as looking less than two years into the future. Medium term is often seen as a two- to five-year time horizon. And long term is five years or more.
