Optimize Team Capacity
Balance workloads and prevent burnout
Complete Capacity Planning Tools
From workload visibility to capacity forecasting, AgencyPro provides everything you need to manage team resources effectively and scale your agency strategically.
See exactly who's working on what, when, and for how long with comprehensive workload visibility across all projects and team members. View capacity by person, team, or project to quickly identify who has bandwidth and who's overloaded. Color-coded calendars show availability at a glance, making it easy to balance workloads and prevent burnout before it happens.
Optimize resource allocation by matching team members' skills and availability to project needs. Drag-and-drop scheduling lets you assign work efficiently, while capacity warnings alert you when someone is over-allocated. Balance workloads across your team, ensure critical projects have the right people assigned, and avoid the costly mistakes of overcommitting or underutilizing your team.
Forecast future capacity needs based on current projects, upcoming work, and historical utilization patterns. Predict when you'll need additional resources, identify capacity bottlenecks months in advance, and make proactive hiring decisions rather than reactive ones. Use forecasting data to plan project timelines, set realistic client expectations, and ensure you have the right team size for growth.
Automatically flag when team members are over-allocated or underutilized to maintain healthy workloads and optimal productivity. Set capacity thresholds and receive alerts when someone is scheduled beyond their capacity or sitting idle. Balance workloads proactively to prevent burnout, maintain team morale, and ensure everyone is contributing effectively without being overwhelmed.
Make informed hiring decisions based on actual capacity data rather than guesswork. See utilization trends over time, identify consistent capacity gaps, forecast future hiring needs, and understand whether you need full-time hires, contractors, or can redistribute existing work. Use capacity analytics to justify hiring requests, plan budgets, and scale your team strategically.
Schedule projects intelligently based on team capacity, skill requirements, and availability windows. Avoid double-booking team members, respect their capacity limits, and optimize project start dates to ensure smooth execution. Capacity planning helps you set realistic timelines, avoid delays from resource conflicts, and deliver projects on time by ensuring adequate resources are available.
Why Capacity Planning Is Critical
Without visibility into team capacity, agencies risk overworking team members, underutilizing resources, making poor hiring decisions, and experiencing project delays from resource conflicts. Capacity planning provides the insights needed to balance workloads, prevent burnout, optimize utilization, and scale strategically.

Prevent burnout, optimize productivity
How Capacity Planning Works
Set up capacity planning in minutes and start optimizing team resources with real-time visibility and forecasting.
Define each team member's capacity by setting their available hours per week, accounting for meetings, admin time, and other non-project work. Set skill tags and expertise levels so you can match the right people to the right projects. AgencyPro uses this baseline to calculate utilization and identify capacity gaps or overloads.
Assign team members to projects and tasks, either manually or by letting AgencyPro suggest optimal assignments based on skills and availability. As you schedule work, AgencyPro tracks capacity utilization in real-time, showing you who's available, who's at capacity, and who's overloaded. Drag-and-drop scheduling makes it easy to adjust assignments and balance workloads.
View capacity dashboards that show current and future utilization across your team. See capacity by person, team, or project, identify bottlenecks, and spot overwork or underwork before it becomes a problem. Capacity warnings alert you when someone is scheduled beyond their limits, helping you proactively rebalance workloads.
Use capacity forecasting to predict future resource needs based on upcoming projects, current utilization trends, and historical patterns. Identify when you'll need additional team members, plan hiring timelines, and ensure you have adequate capacity for growth. Make strategic decisions about scaling your team based on data, not guesswork.
Capacity Planning for Every Agency
Whether you're a growing agency scaling your team, managing multiple projects, or working with specialized skills, capacity planning helps you optimize resources and prevent problems.
Growing agencies need to understand when to hire and who to hire. Capacity planning shows utilization trends, identifies consistent capacity gaps, and helps agencies scale strategically. Forecast hiring needs months in advance, justify new positions with data, and ensure you have the right team size for your growth trajectory.
Agencies juggling multiple projects simultaneously need visibility into resource conflicts and capacity constraints. Capacity planning prevents double-booking, balances workloads across projects, and ensures critical work has adequate resources. Avoid delays from resource conflicts and deliver all projects on time.
Remote teams require even more visibility into capacity and workload since you can't see who's busy just by looking around the office. Capacity planning provides the transparency needed to manage distributed teams effectively, balance workloads fairly, and ensure remote team members aren't overloaded or underutilized.
Agencies with specialized team members—like senior developers, creative directors, or strategy consultants—need careful capacity planning to ensure these critical resources aren't overcommitted. Match specialized skills to the right projects, protect key team members from burnout, and ensure high-value expertise is allocated optimally.
