Capacity Planning is the visible planner view for assigning resource counts to project workflow work by date.
Planners can maintain one readable grid instead of separately managing commitment headers and daily capacity line records.
The app stores the commitment header and the date-wise allocation lines in the background. It also compares allocated hours with the workflow stage estimate for capacity visibility and future due date scheduling.
