Portfolio-Level Capacity Planning & What-If Solver

Seed: Projects table with ResourceDemand per month, ResourcePool with capacity; Use Solver or scenario tables

Implementation Guide

This workbook aggregates project resource demands across a portfolio and supports what-if analysis to balance delivery against capacity. Build a time-phased demand matrix and compare to resource pool capacities to surface shortages. Use Scenario Manager or Solver to explore trade-offs (delay low-priority projects, add contractors) and compute impact on completion dates. Visualize capacity gaps with Gantt overlays and resource heatmaps. Include a prioritization matrix (value vs effort) to guide decision-making and an automatic scenario report summarizing the recommended changes and their effects on key milestones.
