Capacity

Capacity refers to the amount of work your team can execute at any given time. It is measured in days. Capacity is planned for each team member individually.

Availability

The total amount of days a team member can work in a given month. Someone working full time will have a capacity of ~20 days per month, considering that s/he will not take vacation days and that there are no holidays in that month.

Allocations

The fact of allocating a certain number of working days to a staff member to work on something.

Remaining

The number days that a staff member can still work based on his/her availability and allocations.

• Remaining > 0 - The staff member can still be allocated work.
• Remaining = 0 - The staff member is at capacity, i.e. you have allocated work to the level of his/her availability.
• Remaining < 0 - The staff member is over booked, i.e. you have allocated more days that s/he can actually work.
