capacity-and-demand-planning skillA

capacity-and-demand-planning is agent-read markdown (skill) from cbrock84/headcount: Matches operational capacity to expected demand — forecasting load, sizing teams and systems, managing queues, and deciding when to add capacity. Use this to plan staffing for expected volume, diagnose a queue that keeps growing, size support or fulfillment capacity, or decide whether a bottleneck needs more capacity or better flow..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Capacity and demand planning

This is operational throughput — how much work the organization can absorb. Allocating people
across projects is portfolio work, handled in `pmo:portfolio-governance`.

## Forecast demand honestly

Separate the three components, because they need different treatment:

- **Baseline** — the steady rate, best estimated from your own history rather than from a plan.
- **Trend** — the direction, measured over enough periods to distinguish it from noise.
- **Spikes** — launches, seasonality, campaigns, incidents. Known spikes are a planning input;
  unknown ones are what headroom is for.

Forecast in the unit the work actually arrives in — tickets, orders, shipments, minutes of handling
— not in revenue. Revenue divided by an average is a forecast of an average, and averages are where
capacity planning goes to die.

## Capacity is not headcount

Usable capacity is people multiplied by available hours multiplied by the fraction spent on the work
in question. The last term is the one everyone omits and it is rarely above 70%: meetings, training,
holiday, and the interruptions that come with the job are real.
