Allocating Capacity (+1)

Allocating Capacity

A healthy allocation for most product teams:

  • 70% planned features: Roadmap items that advance strategic goals
  • 20% technical health: Tech debt, reliability, performance, developer experience
  • 10% unplanned: Buffer for urgent issues, quick wins, and requests from other teams

Capacity vs Ambition

  • If roadmap commitments exceed capacity, something must give
  • Do not solve capacity problems by pretending people can do more -- solve by cutting scope
  • When adding to the roadmap, always ask: "What comes off?"
