The invention relates to a method for controlling the movement of a boom, wherein the boom is moved by means of a plurality of hydraulic drives (2, 3). Each hydraulic drive (2, 3) is fed with a hydraulic medium, the pressure and/or volume flow of which is adjustable. The method comprises the following steps: Predefining a desired direction of movement and a desired speed of a boom tip; predictively calculating a pressure and/or a volume flow required for each of the hydraulic drives (2, 3) that are required for the desired direction of movement and desired speed; subsequently generating a supply pressure (pV) depending on the predictively calculated pressures and/or subsequently generating a supply volume flow (QV) as a function of the predictively calculated volume flows; and subsequently feeding the hydraulic drives (2, 3) required for the desired direction of movement and desired speed with the hydraulic medium having a respective feed pressure (pS1, pS2) and/or a respective feed volume flow (QS1, QS2) in such a way that the boom tip moves in the desired direction of movement at the desired speed.
