Work a simple demand-versus-supply capacity gap by role
Calculate a capacity gap using demand hours, net supply hours, and bottleneck focus.
Three client launches require 180 PM hours, 140 QA hours, and 90 analytics hours next month. Net supply after meetings, support, and leave is 172 PM hours, 114 QA hours, and 105 analytics hours. Compare demand to net supply by role, then focus on the shortfall that constrains throughput. The common trap is treating all shortages as equal instead of asking which role gates completed output. Step 1 Translate each project into role hours and sum them across the month. Demand is effort, not just project count. Here that yields PM 180, QA 140, analytics 90. Step 2 Calculate net…
