SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? It helps you determine whether your teams have enough people and hours to meet upcoming demand, by comparing current capacity against forecasted workload and identifying gaps before they become critical. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Supply Inventory: Captures headcount, FTE equivalents, available hours, skill profiles, and current allocations per team, with utilization classification against your organization's target band. - Demand Forecasting: Quantifies demand from committed projects, pipeline work, BAU, and unplanned requests using probability weighting and three-point estimation. - Gap Analysis & Scenarios: Classifies supply-demand gaps per period and skill, then stress-tests the plan with base case, high-demand, and constrained-supply scenarios. - Use Case: Ask whether your engineering team can absorb next quarter's roadmap — the skill inventories current capacity, weights pipeline demand, flags critical shortfalls, and recommends prioritized countermeasures like redeployment or hiring. ## Quick Start Plan capacity for my team for next quarter using the uploaded utilization spreadsheet and our current project pipeline.

Frequently Asked Questions about capacity-planning-skill

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema

How do I forecast resource demand for upcoming projects?▼

Catalog all demand sources — committed projects, pipeline, BAU, and unplanned work — then estimate effort per source, weight pipeline items by conversion probability, and map timing across periods. The skill uses three-point estimation for uncertain items to produce a weighted forecast.

How to calculate team utilization rate for capacity planning?▼

Divide allocated hours by available hours (total working hours minus absences, holidays, and overhead) and multiply by 100. The skill classifies the result against your organization's target band as under-utilized, on-target, or over-utilized.

What data sources does capacity planning work with?▼

It pulls allocations from project tools like Jira, Asana, or Monday via MCP, headcount from HRIS systems like Personio or Workday, historical data from companyRAG collections, or uploaded CSV/XLSX files. You can also provide figures directly in chat.

Can I do capacity planning without connected HR or project tools?▼

Yes. Provide the numbers directly in chat or upload utilization spreadsheets and headcount lists as CSV or XLSX files. The skill works identically with manually supplied data and never fabricates missing figures.

What happens when demand exceeds available capacity?▼

The skill classifies the shortfall as moderate or critical based on your defined threshold, then recommends countermeasures in priority order: reprioritize demand, redeploy across teams, improve efficiency, temporary augmentation, permanent hiring, or deferring scope.

Does the skill assume a standard utilization target?▼

No. It never assumes a default utilization band or staffing benchmark. You must define your target range, critical shortfall threshold, and unplanned-work buffer, and all numbers must come from your organization's data.
