How do you build an IT team workload plan?

An IT team workload plan crosses net capacity (after leave, run, training) with project demand. Centralize allocations, cap at 100%, detect multi-project conflicts, and arbitrate in committee. Workload replaces the shared spreadsheet: net capacity, overload alerts, linked timesheet — for IT orgs of 20–500, from $59/month.

- Net capacity (not theoretical)
- Multi-project workload plan
- Overload alerts > 100%
- Weekly capacity committee

### What is an IT team workload plan?

It is the view that crosses who is available (net capacity) with committed work (projects, run, leave). CIOs and PMOs use it to decide go / defer without overloading teams.

### How is it different from IT capacity planning?

Capacity planning answers “can we take this portfolio?”. The workload plan operationalizes that answer week by week (allocations, conflicts, committee). Workload covers both — see IT capacity planning.

### Can Excel hold an IT workload plan?

Up to ~15 people and few projects, yes. Beyond that, version conflicts and manual consolidation explode. See Excel capacity plan alternative.

### How does the PMO use the workload plan?

To allocate Hard/Soft/Tentative, prepare the capacity committee, and justify hiring. See PMO resource allocation tool.

### Should the workload plan link to timesheets?

Yes, to compare plan vs actual. Workload syncs Jira Tempo, Azure DevOps, Toggl, or Clockify depending on plan.

### Where to start if we only have Excel today?

Import CSV (teams, projects, allocations), see who is over 100%, then run a 30-minute committee. 14-day trial, no credit card.

### Does the plan cover run and build?

Yes. Splitting run/build avoids believing project capacity remains when support consumes 60–70% of time.

### What ROI when leaving an Excel capacity plan?

For an 80-person IT org, year-1 TCO gap vs a dedicated tool often exceeds $50k. Model your case on the ROI calculator.
