Plan resource capacity — workload analysis and utilization forecasting. Use when heading into quarterly planning, the team feels overallocated and you need the numbers, deciding whether to hire or deprioritize, or stress-testing whether upcoming projects fit the people you have.

/capacity plan If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see [CONNECTORS.md](../../CONNECTORS.md). Analyze team capacity and plan resource allocation. Usage What I Need From You Team size and roles : Who do you have? Current workload : What are they working on? (Upload from project tracker or describe) Upcoming work : What's coming next quarter? Constraints : Budget, hiring timeline, skill requirements Planning Dimensions People Available headcount and skills Current allocation and utilization Planned hires and timeline Contractor and vendor capacity Budget Operating budget by category Project specific budgets Variance tracking Forecast vs. actual Time Project timelines and dependencies Critical path analysis Buffer and contingency planning Deadline management Utilization Targets Role Type Target Utilization Notes IC / Specialist 75 80% Leave room for reactive work and growth Manager 60 70% Management overhead, meetings, 1:1s On call / Support 50 60% Interrupt driven work is unpredictable Common Pitfalls Planning to 100% utilization (no buffer for surprises) Ignoring meeting load and context switching costs Not accounting for vacation, holidays, and sick time Treating all hours as equal (creative work ≠ admin work) Output If Connectors Available If ~~project tracker is connected: Pull current workload and ticket assignments automatically Show upcoming sprint or quarter commitments per person If ~~calendar is connected: Factor in PTO, holidays, and recurring meeting load Calculate actual available hours per person Tips 1. Include all work — BAU, projects, support, meetings. People aren't 100% available for project work. 2. Plan for buffer — Target 80% utilization. 100% means no room for surprises. 3. Update regularly — Capacity plans go stale fast. Review monthly.
