The problem this solves
Most resource planning lives in a spreadsheet that answers only one question — who is booked on what. It cannot tell you when a skill runs out, what an unfilled role costs you in revenue, or whether hiring beats contracting for the gap you are looking at.
So the conversation in the monthly review stays the same. Delivery says they are short. Sales says the pipeline is committed. Finance asks why utilisation is down and the bench is up. Nobody has the one number that settles it: what the gap is worth, and which response protects the most margin.
Meanwhile the cost is quietly real — people idle on the bench while demand goes unfilled elsewhere, projects staffed at rates that lose money, hiring started three months too late, and a skill shortage that nobody saw coming until the project slipped.
This workbook closes that loop. Put your people on one sheet and your demand on another, and it forecasts capacity twelve periods out, finds the gaps by role and by skill, scores every resource against every demand line, prices four response options against each other, and puts the whole picture — with recommended actions written in plain English — on a single executive page.
