Why does a CIO need Workload?

Because saying no on gut feel erodes trust, and saying yes without net capacity erodes delivery. Workload shows real IT team load, multi-project conflicts, and plan vs timesheet — so you can keep COMEX commitments, not manage Jira tickets.

- Say no with facts
- Net capacity, not theoretical
- Capacity Committee fed
- Native CIO KPIs
- Not a task tool

## For CIOs

Say no with facts. Keep your commitments.

Demand explodes; capacity does not. Workload makes the trade-off tenable — without a six-month PPM rollout.

### How is this different from Jira, Monday, or Asana?

Those are execution tools (tasks, boards). Workload is the CIO capacity / trade-off layer. Keep Jira for the backlog; use Workload to know whether you can still say yes. See Tempo Jira comparison.

### Versus a PPM (Sciforma, Planview) or Abraxio?

Enterprise PPM covers heavy multi-BU governance. Abraxio leans toward IT controlling. Workload is the capacity + committee layer for IT orgs of 20–500 — lighter than PPM, more capacity-native than a task tool. See vs Sciforma and vs Abraxio.

### Must we drop Excel immediately?

No. Import, decide in Workload, export when needed. The master spreadsheet stops being the source of truth. See Excel capacity plan alternative.

### Which ritual should we install?

The Capacity Committee: a short review on net capacity and conflicts. See Capacity Committee.

### How soon to a credible first trade-off?

CSV import + first allocations: day 1. First useful committee: week 1. 14-day trial, no credit card.

### Does Workload fit distributed teams?

Yes: unified capacity view across sites. Timesheets can stay in Tempo / Azure DevOps.
