Use AI for workload analysis, scheduling optimization, scenario planning, resource allocation, and bottleneck identification in operations.
Before
Calculate your team's effective capacity using the utilization factors table above. Start with total available hours (headcount x hours per week), then subtract realistic estimates for PTO, meetings, admin time, and unplanned work. Compare the resulting effective capacity to your current workload. Are you planning at 100% theoretical capacity?
After
Capacity planning fails when it assumes 100% utilization. Realistic models account for PTO, meetings, administrative tasks, ramp-up time, and unplanned work — typically reducing effective capacity to 65-80% of theoretical maximum.
Tip
Be specific about what you need. The more context you provide, the better the result.
