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.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file 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. …

How to install
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/capacity-and-demand-planning@sha256:6d6b28ea5d74be39The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.e72e404, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
