Resources & Capacity

Align work with real availability, skills and sustainable capacity.

• Everyone is allocated one hundred percent to several projects. How do we fix the plan?Resource over-allocation
• Our resource plan ignores support work. What should change?Missing operational demand
• A shared specialist is needed by two projects on the same day. Who decides?Contested scarce capacity
• How do we plan for leave without invading privacy?Availability visibility gap
• Our utilization is high, but delivery is slow. Why?Utilization-flow trade-off
• Should we assign tasks by availability or by skill?Assignment fit
• The resource plan is monthly, but tasks change daily. How should they connect?Planning-granularity mismatch
• How can we forecast staffing before every task is known?Early capacity uncertainty
• A contractor finishes their tasks but remains booked for months. What should we review?Stale capacity reservation
• We cannot tell who is overloaded because people do not update timesheets. What can we use?Incomplete capacity evidence
• How do we manage equipment shared by several projects?Nonhuman resource conflict
• The project needs a replacement resource immediately. How do we choose safely?Urgent staffing substitution
• Should managers edit people's resource plans without telling them?Uncommunicated allocation changes
• Our team switches between too many projects. How can we reduce the cost?Fragmented attention
• How do we plan capacity for unpredictable incidents?Variable demand planning
• A project has budget but no people. Can it be considered approved to start?Funding-capacity mismatch
• How can we use actual effort to improve future resource plans?Unclosed planning feedback
• The resource manager and project manager use different numbers. How do we reconcile them?Competing capacity records
• How do we build backup coverage without doubling staffing?Proportionate resilience planning
• When should we release resources from a project?Unclear demobilization
