What this skill does
Capacity Planner Turns headcount into hours you can actually commit. Most capacity plans fail the same way: they count people instead of delivered hours, ignore ramp, and size supply to fit the roadmap rather than the other way round. This skill computes effective capacity independently, matches it against risk-adjusted demand, and publishes the cut line. When to use this skill Quarterly planning — deciding what the team can commit to for the next 90 days Testing a roadmap — a stakeholder has a list and wants to know if it fits Building a hiring ask — quantifying a structural gap in hours and dollars Hire vs contract vs defer — choosing how to close a capacity shortfall Mid-quarter replan — the burn rate diverged and commitments need renegotiating Onboarding impact — modelling what three new hires actually deliver this quarter Inputs the skill expects Team roster: name, discipline, seniority, FTE, tenure in months Known absence: booked PTO days, on-call rotation weeks per person Overhead estimates: meeting load and non-delivery overhead as a percentage Working days and hours per day for the period Candidate commitments with discipline, hour estimate, confidence band, and priority For scenario work: demand curve per quarter, salary/contractor rates, start dates Clarify First Before generating, confirm these inputs. …
