Introduction

Capacity represents the number of hours a resource can contribute each day.

Capacity, in combination with task workload, makes it possible to monitor workload distribution and avoid over/under-allocation of resources.

Capacity is reduced by

Workload plan

If a resource is assigned to a team 100%, their individual capacity is synonymous with team capacity. So it's 100% (not 0h).

Individual capacity in portfolio boxes

Individual capacity in none scope boxes such as the root (Home) and portfolio boxes presents:

  • The user’s calendar capacity if the user is not assigned to any team.

  • The user’s calendar capacity if the sum of the user’s team capacities is greater than the user’s calendar capacity.

  • The sum of the user’s team capacities if the sum of the user’s team capacities is less or equal to the user’s calendar capacity.

Workload cell coloring is calculated based on the capacity selected above.
