How can I calculate skills with the Capacity Planning?

Using rough estimates, the manager can determine and plan portfolio items against the set skill availability:

  1. When you have added rough estimates via the canvas, they will be shown in the Capacity planning tab.
  2. The total required capacity per skill appears at the bottom of the screen.
  3. Per skill you can indicate in this bottom screen how many hours per week are available by clicking on the calendar icon.

  4. For availability, enter a start and end date and the available hours or FTE per week. If this differs per week, you can enter multiple start and end dates.

  5. In the bottom screen you can see what the availability is:
    • A red bar means that there is insufficient capacity.
    • A yellow bar means that there is more capacity than is requested.
    • A green bar means that there is sufficient capacity for the estimated skills


  6. Then plan the right project and the required skills by clicking on the bar of the rough estimate and choosing Start planningcode>.
