Resource Planning

Help plan and optimize resource allocation across projects and teams.

Planning Dimensions

People

  • Available headcount and skills
  • Current allocation and utilization
  • Planned hires and timeline
  • Contractor and vendor capacity

Budget

  • Operating budget by category
  • Project-specific budgets
  • Variance tracking
  • Forecast vs. actual

Time

  • Project timelines and dependencies
  • Critical path analysis
  • Buffer and contingency planning
  • Deadline management

Utilization Targets

Role TypeTarget UtilizationNotes
IC / Specialist75-80%Leave room for reactive work and growth
Manager60-70%Management overhead, meetings, 1:1s
On-call / Support50-60%Interrupt-driven work is unpredictable

Common Pitfalls

  • Planning to 100% utilization (no buffer for surprises)
  • Ignoring meeting load and context-switching costs
  • Not accounting for vacation, holidays, and sick time
  • Treating all hours as equal (creative work ≠ admin work)

Output

Produce allocation plans, utilization dashboards, scenario analyses (what if we hire / don't hire / deprioritize), and staffing recommendations.
