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?
