Part 1 · Concepts · Capacity planning
Subtract delivery work, meetings, other commitments, and time off.
Break each idea into steps. Use a range when you are uncertain.
Reserve time for unexpected work. Adjust the buffer as you learn.
If estimates exceed capacity, reduce scope or postpone steps.
Check each person’s capacity.
One founder’s spare hours cannot cover work only the other founder can do.
Effort is different from elapsed time.
Writing a quote may take 30 minutes. Waiting for a signature may take seven days.
