Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Interim Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 1 — Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required for complete financial statements are not included herein. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. It is recommended that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear in the Forrester Research, Inc. (“Forrester”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 may not be indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2019, or any other period. Fair Value Measurements The carrying amounts reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. The Company believes that the carrying amount of its variable-rate borrowings reasonably approximate their fair values because the rates of interest on those borrowings reflect current market rates of interest. See Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements, Presentation of Restricted Cash The following table summarizes the end-of-period cash and cash equivalents from the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and the total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (in thousands). March 31, 2019 2018 Cash and cash equivalents $ 75,012 $ 82,073 Restricted cash classified in (1): Prepaid expenses and other current assets 208 — Other assets 1,148 — Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown in statement of cash flows $ 76,368 $ 82,073 (1) Restricted cash consists of collateral required primarily for letters of credit. The short-term or long-term classification is determined in accordance with the expiration of the underlying lease as the letters of credit are non-cancellable while the leases are in effect. Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842 using the modified retrospective method in which prior periods are not adjusted. Under this method, the cumulative effect of applying the standard is recorded at the date of initial application. Adoption of the standard did not result in the Company recording a cumulative effect adjustment. The standard resulted in the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets of $53.3 million, operating lease liabilities of $60.8 million and the elimination of deferred rent of $7.5 million on the adoption date. In addition, the Company recorded $10.4 million of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities on January 3, 2019 as a result of the acquisition of SiriusDecisions (see to Note 2 – Acquisitions standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the new lease standard that allowed the carry forward of the historical lease classification for all leases that existed as of the adoption date. In addition, the Company elected to exempt short term leases from recognition of right of use assets and lease liabilities, and elected not to separate lease and non-lease components within its leases. The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company accounts for a lease when it has the right to control the leased asset for a period of time while obtaining substantially all of the assets’ economic benefits. All of the Company’s leases are operating leases, the majority of which are for office space. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and non-current operating lease liabilities are included as individual line items on the Consolidated Balance Sheets while short term operating lease liabilities are recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease inception, as an implicit rate is generally not readily determinable. An operating lease ROU asset includes all lease payments and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Some of the Company’s leases include options to extend or terminate the lease. When determining the lease term, these options are included in the measurement and recognition of the Company’s ROU assets and lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. The Company considers several economic factors when making this determination, including but not limited to, the significance of leasehold improvements incurred in the office space, the difficulty in replacing the asset, underlying contractual obligations, or specific characteristics unique to a particular lease. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the reasonably assured lease term based on the total lease payments (which include initial direct costs and lease incentives). The expense is included in operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s lease agreements generally contain lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components are fixed charges stated in an agreement and primarily include payments for parking at the leased office space. The Company accounts for the lease and fixed payments for non-lease components as a single lease component under Topic 842, which increases the amount of the ROU assets and lease liabilities. Most of the Company’s lease agreements also contain variable payments, primarily maintenance-related costs, which are expensed as incurred and not included in the measurement of the ROU assets and lease liabilities. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are not material. The components of lease expense were as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Operating lease cost $ 3,569 Short-term lease cost 255 Variable lease cost 1,234 Total lease cost $ 5,058 Additional information related to leases is summarized in the following table (in thousands, except lease term and discount rate): Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Cash paid for operating cash flows from operating leases $ 3,753 Operating right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations $ 12,011 Weighted-average remaining lease term - operating leases (years) 7.0 Weighted-average discount rate - operating leases 5.1 % Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable leases as of March 31, 2019 are as follows (in thousands): 2019 $ 9,590 2020 15,030 2021 12,692 2022 11,993 2023 11,988 Thereafter 35,041 Total lease payments 96,334 Less imputed interest (16,087 ) Present value of lease liabilities $ 80,247 Lease balances as of March 31, 2019 are as follows (in thousands): Operating lease right-of-use assets $ 71,529 Short term operating lease liability (1) $ 16,404 Non-current operating lease liabilities 63,843 Total operating lease liabilities $ 80,247 (1) Included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities The Company’s leases do not contain residual value guarantees, material restrictions or covenants. |

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions | Note 2 — Acquisitions The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting as prescribed by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations FeedbackNow On July 6, 2018, Forrester acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of S.NOW SA, a Switzerland-based business that operates as FeedbackNow. FeedbackNow is a maker of physical buttons and monitoring software that companies deploy to measure, analyze, and improve customer experience. The acquisition is part of Forrester's plan to build a real-time CX cloud solution. FeedbackNow provides a high-volume input source for the real-time CX cloud solution. The Company paid $8.4 million on the closing date. An additional $1.5 million is payable during a two-year period from the closing date and is subject to typical indemnity provisions from the seller. The Company also paid additional purchase price based on the acquired working capital of $0.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019. In addition, the sellers may earn up to $4.2 million based on the financial performance of FeedbackNow during the two-year period following the closing date, with up to $1.7 million and $2.5 million payable during 2019 and 2020, respectively, if the financial targets are met. The range of undiscounted amounts that could be payable under this arrangement is zero to $4.2 million. The fair value of this contingent consideration arrangement as of the acquisition date was $3.4 million, which was recognized as purchase price. There were no measurement period adjustments recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The allocation of the purchase price for FeedbackNow is preliminary with respect to income taxes payable. The Company expects to obtain the remainder of the information to complete the allocation of purchase price during the second quarter of 2019. SiriusDecisions, Inc. On January 3, 2019, Forrester acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of SiriusDecisions, Inc. (“SiriusDecisions”), a privately-held company based in Wilton, Connecticut with approximately 350 employees globally. Forrester believes that the combination of its expertise in strategy with SiriusDecisions’ focus on operational excellence will create additional market opportunities for the Company, including cross-selling services to the respective client bases, extending SiriusDecisions’ platform, methodologies, data, and best-practices tools into new roles, and accelerating international and industry growth. The acquisition of SiriusDecisions was determined to be an acquisition of a business under the provisions of ASC 805. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, the Company paid $247.3 million at closing, which is subject to adjustment, and included the purchase price of $245.0 million plus an estimate of cash acquired and reduced by an estimate of certain working capital items. Net cash paid, which accounts for cash acquired of $7.9 million and a subsequent $0.5 million reduction in cash paid for transaction-related expenses, was $238.9 million and is reflected as an investing activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company expects to determine the working capital adjustment during the second quarter of 2019. At the time of the merger, each vested SiriusDecisions stock option was converted into the right to receive the excess of the per share merger consideration over the exercise price of such stock option. All unvested SiriusDecisions stock options were cancelled without payment of any consideration. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the acquisition of SiriusDecisions (in thousands): Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 7,858 Accounts receivable 18,981 Prepaids and other current assets 3,786 Fixed assets 4,169 Goodwill (1) 157,808 Acquired intangible assets (2) 116,000 Other assets 265 Total assets 308,867 Liabilities: Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 9,251 Deferred revenue 26,244 Deferred tax liability 24,460 Long-term deferred revenue 1,037 Other long-term liabilities 1,073 Total liabilities 62,065 Net assets acquired $ 246,802 (1) Goodwill represents the expected revenue and cost synergies from combining SiriusDecisions with Forrester as well as the value of the acquired workforce. (2) All of the acquired intangible assets are finite-lived. The determination of the fair value of the finite-lived intangible assets required management judgment and the consideration of a number of factors. In determining the fair values, management primarily relied on income valuation methodologies, in particular discounted cash flow models. The use of discounted cash flow models required the use of estimates, including projected cash flows related to the particular asset; the useful lives of the particular assets; the selection of royalty and discount rates used in the models; and certain published industry benchmark data. In establishing the estimated useful lives of the acquired intangible assets, the Company relied primarily on the duration of the cash flows utilized in the valuation model. Of the $116.0 million assigned to acquired intangible assets, $14.0 million was assigned to the technology asset class with useful lives of 1 to 8 years (with a weighted average amortization period of 2.9 years), $13.0 million to backlog with a useful life of 2.0 years, $77.0 million to customer relationships with a useful life of 9.25 years, and $12.0 million to trade names with a useful life of 15.5 years. The weighted-average amortization period for the total acquired intangible assets is 8.3 years. The allocation of the purchase price for SiriusDecisions is preliminary with respect to the valuation of acquired intangible assets, working capital and goodwill. The Company expects to obtain the remainder of the information to complete the allocation of purchase price by the end of 2019. The Company’s financial statements include the operating results of SiriusDecisions beginning on January 3, 2019, the date of the acquisition. SiriusDecision’s operating results and the related goodwill are being reported as its own operating segment (refer to Note 11 – Operating Segments T Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 Pro forma total revenue $ 104,488 $ 93,371 Pro forma net loss $ (9,090 ) $ (10,451 ) The pro forma results have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the following pro forma adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2018: (1) an increase in interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs related to the financing of the SiriusDecisions acquisition (refer to Note 3 – Debt For the three months ended March 31, 2019, goodwill increased by $157.4 million with $157.8 million of the increase attributable to the acquisition of SiriusDecisions and a $0.4 million decrease due to foreign currency fluctuations. The Company recognized $1.7 million of acquisition costs in the three months ended March 31, 2019 related to the SiriusDecisions acquisition. The costs primarily consisted of investment banker fees and other professional services costs and are included in acquisition and integration costs within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Debt | Note 3 — Debt In connection with the acquisition of SiriusDecisions, the Company entered into a $200.0 million Credit Agreement on January 3, 2019 (the “Closing Date”). The Credit Agreement provides for: (1) senior secured term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $125.0 million (the “ Term Loans Revolving Credit Facility Facilities The Facilities permit the Company to borrow incremental term loans and/or increase commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount up to $50.0 million, subject to approval by the administrative agent and certain customary terms and conditions. The Facilities can be repaid early, in part or in whole, at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage reimbursement requirements for LIBOR-based loans. The Term Loans must be prepaid with net cash proceeds of (i) certain debt incurred or issued by Forrester and its restricted subsidiaries and (ii) certain asset sales and condemnation or casualty events, subject to certain reinvestment rights. Amounts borrowed under the Facilities bear interest, at Forrester’s option, at a rate per annum equal to either (i) the London Interbank Offering Rate (“ LIBOR” The Term Loans require repayment of the outstanding principal balance in quarterly installments each year, commencing on March 31, 2019 with the balance repayable on the maturity date, subject to customary exceptions. The amount payable in each year as of March 31, 2019 is set forth in the table below (in thousands): 2019 $ 4,688 2020 9,375 2021 12,500 2022 12,500 2023 15,625 Thereafter 68,750 Total principal payments $ 123,438 The Revolving Credit Facility does not require repayment prior to maturity, subject to customary exceptions. In addition to financing the acquisition, proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility can also be used towards working capital and general corporate purposes. Up to $5.0 million of the Revolving Credit Facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit, and any drawings under the letters of credit must be reimbursed within one business day. Forrester incurred $1.8 million in costs related to the Revolving Credit Facility which are recorded in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These costs are being amortized as interest expense on a straight-line basis over the five-year term of the Revolving Credit Facility. Forrester incurred $2.8 million in costs related to the Term Loans, which are recorded as a reduction to the face value of long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These costs are being amortized as interest expense utilizing the effective interest rate method. Outstanding Borrowings The following table summarizes the Company’s total outstanding borrowings as of the dates indicated (in thousands): Description: March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Term loan facility (1) $ 123,438 $ — Revolving credit facility (1) (2) 30,000 — Principal amount outstanding (3) 153,438 — Less: Deferred financing fees (2,679 ) — Net balance sheet carrying amount $ 150,759 $ — (1) The contractual annualized interest rate as of March 31, 2019 on the Term loan facility and the Revolving Credit Facility was 5.0%, which consisted of LIBOR of 2.5% plus a margin of 2.5%. (2) The Company had $45.0 million of available borrowing capacity on the revolver (not including the expansion feature) as of March 31, 2019. (3) The weighted average annual effective rates on the Company's total debt outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2019, was 5.0%. The Facilities contain certain customary restrictive loan covenants, including among others, financial covenants that apply a maximum leverage ratio and minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The negative covenants limit, subject to various exceptions, the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens on assets, merge, consolidate, liquidate or dissolve any part of the Company, sell assets, pay dividends or other payments in respect to capital stock, change fiscal year, or enter into certain transactions with affiliates and subsidiaries.

Fair Value Measurements | Note 5 — Fair Value Measurements The Company measures certain financial assets at fair value on a recurring basis, including cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities. The fair values of these financial assets have been classified as Level 1, 2 or 3 within the fair value hierarchy as described in the accounting standards for fair value measurements. Level 1 — Fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 — Fair value based on inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 — Fair value based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and such inputs are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, the Company did not transfer assets or liabilities between levels of the fair value hierarchy. The following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands): As of March 31, 2019 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Money market funds (1) $ 7,177 $ — $ — $ 7,177 Total Assets: $ 7,177 $ — $ — $ 7,177 Liabilities Contingent purchase price (2) $ — $ — $ (4,059 ) $ (4,059 ) Total Liabilities: $ — $ — $ (4,059 ) $ (4,059 ) As of December 31, 2018 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Money market funds (1) $ 255 $ — $ — $ 255 Total Assets: $ 255 $ — $ — $ 255 Liabilities Contingent purchase price (2) $ — $ — $ (4,196 ) $ (4,196 ) Total Liabilities: $ — $ — $ (4,196 ) $ (4,196 ) (1) Included in cash and cash equivalents. (2) $1.8 million is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and $2.3 million and $2.4 million is included in non-current liabilities as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Level 3 liabilities at March 31, 2019 consist entirely of the contingent purchase price related to the acquisition of FeedbackNow. Changes in the fair value of Level 3 contingent consideration for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were as follows (in thousands): Contingent Consideration Balance at December 31, 2018 $ (4,196 ) Fair value adjustment of contingent purchase price (1) 88 Foreign exchange effect 49 Balance at March 31, 2019 $ (4,059 ) (1) This amount was recognized as a reduction in acquisition and integration costs within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2019, the significant unobservable inputs used in the Monte Carlo simulation to fair value the contingent consideration included projected contract bookings, a discount rate of 17.8%, and revenue volatility of 24.4%. Increases or decreases in the inputs would result in a higher or lower fair value measurement. |

Non-Marketable Investments | Note 6 — Non-Marketable Investments At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the carrying value of the Company’s non-marketable investments, which were composed of interests in technology-related private equity funds, was $2.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively, and is included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s non-marketable investments at March 31, 2019 are being accounted for using the equity method as the investments are limited partnerships and the Company has an ownership interest in excess of 5% and, accordingly, the Company records its share of the investee’s operating results each period. Losses from non-marketable investments were immaterial during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018. Losses are included in losses on investments, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, no distributions were received from the funds. |

Revenue From Contract With Customer [Abstract] | |
Contract Assets and Liabilities | Note 7 – Contract Assets and Liabilities Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable includes amounts billed and currently due from customers. Since the only condition for payment of our invoices is the passage of time, the Company records a receivable on the date the invoice is issued. Also included in accounts receivable are unbilled amounts resulting from revenue exceeding the amount billed to the customer, where the right to payment is unconditional. If the right to payment for services performed was conditional on something other than the passage of time, the unbilled amount would be recorded as a separate contract asset. There were no contract assets as of March 31, 2019 or 2018. The majority of the Company’s contracts are non-cancellable. However, for contracts that are cancellable by the customer, the Company does not record a receivable when it issues an invoice. The Company records accounts receivable on these contracts only up to the amount of revenue earned but not yet collected. In addition, since the majority of the Company’s contracts are for a duration of one year and payment is expected within one year from the transfer of products and services, the Company does not adjust its receivables or transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component. Deferred Revenue The Company refers to contract liabilities as deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Payment terms in the Company’s customer contracts vary, but generally require payment in advance of fully satisfying the performance obligation(s). Deferred revenue consists of billings in excess of revenue recognized. Similar to accounts receivable, the Company does not record deferred revenue for invoices issued on a cancellable contract. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized approximately $58.1 million of revenue related to its deferred revenue balance at January 1, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recognized approximately $58.0 million of revenue related to its deferred revenue balance at January 1, 2018. To determine revenue recognized in the current period from deferred revenue at the beginning of the period, the Company first allocates revenue to the individual deferred revenue balance outstanding at the beginning of the period, until the revenue equals that balance. Approximately $357.9 million of revenue is expected to be recognized during the next 12 to 24 months from remaining performance obligations as of March 31, 2019. Cost to Obtain Contracts The Company capitalizes commissions paid to internal sales representatives and related fringe benefits costs that are incremental to obtaining customer contracts . These costs are included in deferred commissions on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company accounts for these costs at a portfolio level as the Company’s contracts are similar in nature and the amortization model used closely matches the amortization expense that would be recognized on a contract-by-contract basis. Costs to obtain a contract are amortized to operations as the related revenue is recognized over the initial contract term. Amortization expense related to deferred commissions was $7.2 million and $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, respectively. The Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred commissions at each balance sheet date |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Note 8 — Income Taxes Forrester provides for income taxes on an interim basis according to management’s estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. Certain items such as changes in tax rates, tax benefits or expense related to settlements of share-based payment awards, and foreign currency gains or losses are treated as discrete items and are recorded in the period in which they arise. Income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $0.2 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 1.7% for the period. The Company recorded a $0.6 million discrete tax expense during the three months ended March 31, 2019 due to the settlement of a U.S. Competent Authority claim during the period. The Company anticipates that its effective tax rate for the full year 2019 will be approximately 5% due to a projected pretax loss for the year. Income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $0.7 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 28.7% for the period. In July 2015, the U.S. Tax Court issued an opinion in Altera Corp. v. Commissioner related to the treatment of stock-based compensation expense in an intercompany cost-sharing arrangement. The opinion invalidated part of a treasury regulation requiring stock-based compensation to be included in any qualified intercompany cost-sharing arrangement. The Company previously recorded a tax benefit based on the opinion in the case. Currently the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit is reviewing the case and a final decision is yet to be issued. The Company will continue to monitor ongoing developments and potential impacts to its consolidated financial statements. |

Net Loss Per Common Share | Note 9 — Net Loss Per Common Share Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the diluted weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of common equivalent shares outstanding has been determined in accordance with the treasury-stock method. Common equivalent shares consist of common stock issuable on the exercise of outstanding stock options and the vesting of restricted stock units. Basic and diluted weighted average common shares are as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 Basic weighted average common shares outstanding 18,363 18,036 Weighted average common equivalent shares — — Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding 18,363 18,036 Options and restricted stock units excluded from diluted weighted average share calculation as effect would have been anti-dilutive 703 1,059 |

Accordingly, the Company did not declare or pay any dividend in the three months ended March 31, 2019. In the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company declared and paid dividends of $0.20 per share or $3.6 million in the aggregate. Treasury Stock As of March 31, 2019, Forrester’s Board of Directors had authorized an aggregate $535.0 million to purchase common stock under its stock repurchase program. The shares repurchased may be used, among other things, in connection with Forrester’s equity incentive and purchase plans. In the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock. In the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company repurchased approximately 0.1 million shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $4.4 million. From the inception of the program through March 31, 2019, the Company repurchased 16.3 million shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of $474.9 million. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required for complete financial statements are not included herein. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. It is recommended that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear in the Forrester Research, Inc. (“Forrester”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 may not be indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2019, or any other period. |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements The carrying amounts reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. The Company believes that the carrying amount of its variable-rate borrowings reasonably approximate their fair values because the rates of interest on those borrowings reflect current market rates of interest. See Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements, |
Presentation of Restricted Cash | Presentation of Restricted Cash The following table summarizes the end-of-period cash and cash equivalents from the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and the total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (in thousands).

The short-term or long-term classification is determined in accordance with the expiration of the underlying lease as the letters of credit are non-cancellable while the leases are in effect. |
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements | Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842 using the modified retrospective method in which prior periods are not adjusted. Under this method, the cumulative effect of applying the standard is recorded at the date of initial application. Adoption of the standard did not result in the Company recording a cumulative effect adjustment. The standard resulted in the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets of $53.3 million, operating lease liabilities of $60.8 million and the elimination of deferred rent of $7.5 million on the adoption date. In addition, the Company recorded $10.4 million of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities on January 3, 2019 as a result of the acquisition of SiriusDecisions (see to Note 2 – Acquisitions standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the new lease standard that allowed the carry forward of the historical lease classification for all leases that existed as of the adoption date. In addition, the Company elected to exempt short term leases from recognition of right of use assets and lease liabilities, and elected not to separate lease and non-lease components within its leases. The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company accounts for a lease when it has the right to control the leased asset for a period of time while obtaining substantially all of the assets’ economic benefits. All of the Company’s leases are operating leases, the majority of which are for office space. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and non-current operating lease liabilities are included as individual line items on the Consolidated Balance Sheets while short term operating lease liabilities are recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease inception, as an implicit rate is generally not readily determinable. An operating lease ROU asset includes all lease payments and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Some of the Company’s leases include options to extend or terminate the lease. When determining the lease term, these options are included in the measurement and recognition of the Company’s ROU assets and lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. The Company considers several economic factors when making this determination, including but not limited to, the significance of leasehold improvements incurred in the office space, the difficulty in replacing the asset, underlying contractual obligations, or specific characteristics unique to a particular lease. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the reasonably assured lease term based on the total lease payments (which include initial direct costs and lease incentives). The expense is included in operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s lease agreements generally contain lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components are fixed charges stated in an agreement and primarily include payments for parking at the leased office space. The Company accounts for the lease and fixed payments for non-lease components as a single lease component under Topic 842, which increases the amount of the ROU assets and lease liabilities. Most of the Company’s lease agreements also contain variable payments, primarily maintenance-related costs, which are expensed as incurred and not included in the measurement of the ROU assets and lease liabilities. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are not material. The components of lease expense were as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Operating lease cost $ 3,569 Short-term lease cost 255 Variable lease cost 1,234 Total lease cost $ 5,058 Additional information related to leases is summarized in the following table (in thousands, except lease term and discount rate): Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Cash paid for operating cash flows from operating leases $ 3,753 Operating right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations $ 12,011 Weighted-average remaining lease term - operating leases (years) 7.0 Weighted-average discount rate - operating leases 5.1 % Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable leases as of March 31, 2019 are as follows (in thousands): 2019 $ 9,590 2020 15,030 2021 12,692 2022 11,993 2023 11,988 Thereafter 35,041 Total lease payments 96,334 Less imputed interest (16,087 ) Present value of lease liabilities $ 80,247 Lease balances as of March 31, 2019 are as follows (in thousands): Operating lease right-of-use assets $ 71,529 Short term operating lease liability (1) $ 16,404 Non-current operating lease liabilities 63,843 Total operating lease liabilities $ 80,247 (1) Included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities |

Summary of Preliminary Allocation of Purchase Price to Fair Value of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed | The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the acquisition of SiriusDecisions (in thousands): Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 7,858 Accounts receivable 18,981 Prepaids and other current assets 3,786 Fixed assets 4,169 Goodwill (1) 157,808 Acquired intangible assets (2) 116,000 Other assets 265 Total assets 308,867 Liabilities: Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 9,251 Deferred revenue 26,244 Deferred tax liability 24,460 Long-term deferred revenue 1,037 Other long-term liabilities 1,073 Total liabilities 62,065 Net assets acquired $ 246,802 (1) Goodwill represents the expected revenue and cost synergies from combining SiriusDecisions with Forrester as well as the value of the acquired workforce. (2) All of the acquired intangible assets are finite-lived. The determination of the fair value of the finite-lived intangible assets required management judgment and the consideration of a number of factors. In determining the fair values, management primarily relied on income valuation methodologies, in particular discounted cash flow models. The use of discounted cash flow models required the use of estimates, including projected cash flows related to the particular asset; the useful lives of the particular assets; the selection of royalty and discount rates used in the models; and certain published industry benchmark data. In establishing the estimated useful lives of the acquired intangible assets, the Company relied primarily on the duration of the cash flows utilized in the valuation model. Of the $116.0 million assigned to acquired intangible assets, $14.0 million was assigned to the technology asset class with useful lives of 1 to 8 years (with a weighted average amortization period of 2.9 years), $13.0 million to backlog with a useful life of 2.0 years, $77.0 million to customer relationships with a useful life of 9.25 years, and $12.0 million to trade names with a useful life of 15.5 years. The weighted-average amortization period for the total acquired intangible assets is 8.3 years. |
