What are the steps?
Capacity Reconciliation Protocol (Delivery)
- 01
Pull current allocation data from your scheduling tool
Export booked hours per person and per project from Float, Runn, or Resource Guru to see where capacity stands before any adjustments.
- 02
Compare booked hours against actual time logged
Cross-reference scheduled allocations with time entries from Toggl, Everhour, or Hubstaff to identify over- or under-utilization.
- 03
Flag any person above 90% utilization for the next two weeks
High utilization without buffer risks burnout and missed deadlines; mark these individuals for immediate review.
- 04
Identify projects with negative budget variance
Use profitability reports from Tempo or Everhour to spot where actual hours exceed estimates, signaling scope creep or poor initial planning.
- 05
Reallocate work to underutilized team members
Shift tasks from overbooked staff to those below 70% utilization, balancing the load while keeping skill fit in mind.
- 06
Adjust project timelines or scope where variance exceeds 15%
If a project is consistently over budget, renegotiate deadlines or deliverables with the client before the situation worsens.
- 07
Communicate changes to the delivery team and client stakeholders
Send a brief update listing who is now assigned to what, and note any timeline shifts, so everyone operates from the same plan.
