PLANNING

Staff against what's coming

Where the team's hours actually go, and what next quarter genuinely requires.

  • UTILISATION

    Live, not monthly

  • BUILT FROM

    Assigned work

  • HORIZON

    Next quarter

The problem

Utilisation is usually reconstructed after the fact, from timesheets filled in on a Friday afternoon. By the time the picture is clear the quarter is over, and the decision it should have informed was made on instinct. Firms end up hiring late, or carrying capacity they cannot see.

How we build it

We build capacity views from the work itself: assignments, project timelines, ticket volumes, and pipeline, rather than from retrospective entry. That makes utilisation a live number instead of a monthly reconstruction, and turns next quarter's staffing into a forecast with reasoning behind it.

  1. 01

    Capture

    Capacity is read from real assignments, timelines, and ticket volumes, not from Friday timesheets.

  2. 02

    Forecast

    Committed projects and pipeline become a view of what next quarter actually requires.

  3. 03

    Model

    Scenario views show what accepting a new engagement would take.

  4. 04

    Alert

    Warnings arrive before a team goes underwater, not in the retrospective.

What the system includes.

  • Live utilisation from actual assigned work
  • Capacity forecasts against pipeline and committed projects
  • Bench and over-allocation visibility per team and per person
  • Scenario views for what a new engagement would require
  • Alerts before a team goes underwater, not after

What changes.

  • 01

    Hiring decisions made against evidence rather than instinct

  • 02

    Utilisation you can act on inside the quarter

  • 03

    Fewer engagements accepted that the team cannot actually carry

Every build starts with an audit, so what gets built is decided by how your firm actually operates rather than by what is easy to sell.
