Worked Examples
Example 1: Small Team
Problem: 5 Engineers, 20% KTLO, 10% Meetings, 10% PTO
Solution: 5 × 13 = 65 weeks. Tax = 40%. Effective = 65 × 0.6 = 39 weeks.
Result: 39 Weeks Available
Example 2: Large Org
Problem: 50 Engineers, 30% KTLO, 15% Meetings, 10% PTO
Solution: 50 × 13 = 650 weeks. Tax = 55%. Effective = 650 × 0.45 = 292.5 weeks.
Result: 292.5 Weeks Available
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is capacity always lower than expected?
We tend to be optimistic. We forget about holidays, company offsites, mandatory training, and context switching. Real productive capacity is rarely above 60-70%.
