Many planning and project management tools assume that every team member has the same availability. In reality, small teams often include a mix of full-time and part-time staff, contractors, flexible schedules, holidays, and planned leave. As a result, a team of ten people rarely has the capacity of ten full-time employees.
How does your team currently answer questions like:
Can we take on another project? Who has capacity available next month? Are we overcommitting certain team members? How do you estimate your team's true capacity?
While building FlowGrid, I noticed that many small teams continue to use spreadsheets for planning, even when they have access to dedicated tools. If you're one of them, what keeps you using spreadsheets?
