name: capacity-modeling description: Use to model bookings targets vs headcount, ramp, and productivity assumptions.

Capacity Modeling Playbook Skill

When to Use

• During annual/quarterly planning to align hiring with revenue goals.
• Stress testing bookings plans with upside/downside scenarios.
• Preparing CRO/finance readouts on coverage gaps and productivity.

Framework

1. Assumption Library – document ramp curves, win rates, ACV, hours per deal, attrition.
2. Scenario Engine – plug assumptions into base/upside/downside tables.
3. Gap Analysis – highlight where capacity misses coverage vs target.
4. Mitigation Paths – propose levers (hiring, enablement, pricing, partner attach).
5. Communication Kit – summarize risks/opportunities for leadership decisions.

Templates

• Capacity workbook tabs (inputs, scenarios, summary).
• CRO briefing deck outline.
• Hiring + enablement recommendation log.

Tips

• Keep assumptions versioned to avoid stale models.
• Tie recommendations to time-to-productivity and pipeline coverage KPIs.
• Pair with quota-health to see downstream impact of headcount changes.
