THE WIZARD

Everyone views capacity planning as
important, some find it difficult

Becoming capacity-centered as a way of effective innovation delivery
5 Ways to Get More
Engineering Time Out of
Your Engineers

#1: Visibility into pipeline demand
• For lower maturity companies,
30 to 50%+ of projects were
unplanned
• Unplanned projects create
delays, lack of confidence
• KEY QUESTION: How are
unplanned projects impacting
your resource utilization and
product launch timelines?

#2: Understand resource capacity
• Only 31% of lower maturity
companies consider capacity
most or all of the time; 78% of
mature companies do
• KEY QUESTION: Do you
currently have visibility into
resource utilization to even be
able to be able to adopt
capacity planning as a best
practice?

#3: Gain a comprehensive view of
resource capacity and pipeline demand
• Mature companies are 52%
more likely to have a full view
into capacity and demand
• Extremely difficult with
spreadsheets
• KEY QUESTION: Could you
improve time-to-market with
the use of enterprise software
for resource management and
capacity planning (PPM)?

#4: Conduct continuous prioritization and
planning for greater agility
• 100% of high maturity
companies conduct resource
planning and 75% do it weekly,
monthly or continuously
• KEY QUESTION: What
processes does your company
have in place to ensure
resources are available to
execute projects? Is that
process efficient and easy?
Not limited to PD sample, n=404

#5: Run and analyze what-if scenarios
• 80% of PD leaders at
higher maturity
organizations are able to
respond to innovation
opportunities in minutes,
hours, or days instead of
weeks or months
• KEY QUESTION: Does
your organization have the
ability to perform what-if
analysis to understand the
impact of taking on new
product ideas?

“We went from needing eight weeks to only two
to three days to evaluate capacity to take on
new projects. We are very careful to make sure data is
right. Once we feel more comfortable, we could move
even faster.”
-Senior Manager, Global CPG Company

Trend: Establishing a Center of Excellence
(CoE)
• 48% of high maturity
product development
organizations have a CoE
or PMO compared with
only 23% of lower maturity
counterparts
• Organizations across
maturity spectrum are
establishing the function.
“I report to R&D as part of the
product development PMO. We’re
responsible for all product launches
globally. Our role is business
process improvements, Stage Gate®
process, metrics around go-to-
market speed, portfolio
management, and resource and
capacity planning. “

Risk of Inaction
“We need capacity evaluation
to become a more habitual
thing as we look at new work
coming into the portfolio. Our
Center of Excellence in global
R&D is working to make it
consistent – and the way we
do business.”
