Capacity formula

First remove known unavailable time. Then apply the usable-rate factor to the focused time that remains.

Capacity = pace × people or channels × usable hours × rate factor

Plan with a realistic number

  • Hourly pace is what one person or channel normally completes.
  • Unavailable time removes meetings, breaks and other known commitments.
  • Rate factor allows for normal variation and smaller interruptions.
  • Compare required work with daily capacity before promising a deadline.
