Team Capacity Plan

Plan team capacity against demand honestly: real available hours after meetings and admin, demand forecast, and the gap stated before it becomes a crisis.

Plan capacity for {{team}} over {{period}}. Demand: {{demand}} (projects, recurring work, typical inbound). Team: {{team_details}} (people, roles, leave planned, other commitments).

Calculate honestly: gross hours → minus leave, meetings, admin, interruptions (use 60-70% utilisation unless my notes justify otherwise — plans at 100% are fiction), demand in the same units with uncertainty ranges on the guesses, the gap by week/month — surplus or shortfall, WHERE it lands (whose plate, which skill), and the options priced: deprioritise (what specifically), shift dates, borrow/hire, or reduce scope. Give me the one-paragraph capacity summary I'd send up: 'we can do X and Y by Z, but not W without…'.

Fields like {{ this }} are placeholders — replace them with your own details, or let Aria ask you for them.
