Team Capacity Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Team Capacity (TC) is:

\[ \text{TC} = \frac{N \times S \times T}{C} \]

Where:

\( \text{TC} \) is the team capacity (work units)
\( N \) is the number of team members
\( S \) is the average skill level of team members (work units per time unit)
\( T \) is the time available (time units)
\( C \) is the complexity of the tasks (work units)

What is Team Capacity?

Team capacity refers to the maximum amount of work that a team can accomplish within a specific period. It takes into account factors such as the number of team members, their skills and abilities, the complexity of the tasks, and the time available. Understanding team capacity is crucial for effective project management as it helps in setting realistic goals, planning work schedules, and allocating resources efficiently.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Number of Team Members (N) = 10
Average Skill Level of Team Members (S) = 5 work units per time unit
Time Available (T) = 8 time units
Complexity of the Tasks (C) = 20 work units

Using the formula to calculate the Team Capacity:

\[ \text{TC} = \frac{10 \times 5 \times 8}{20} = \frac{400}{20} = 20 \text{ work units} \]

The Team Capacity is 20 work units.
