# 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?"
