Forecast engineering team capacity for a roadmap in Claude Code

Use capacity-planning to compare delivery capacity under baseline, onboarding, and support scenarios.

Install in Claude Code

Claude Code and historical team delivery data. The exercise uses fictional estimates.

Open the pinned GitHub source below and retrieve the `tech-lead/technical-planning/skills/capacity-planning/` directory from that revision.
Copy it into `.claude/skills/capacity-planning/` in your project, keeping `SKILL.md` and its companion files together.
Open Claude Code in the project root and enter `/capacity-planning` followed by the example task.

Example task

A team delivers around 20 points per sprint across six upcoming sprints. Reserve 20% for support, then model a second scenario with eight additional points for onboarding. Compare both with a 92-point roadmap.

What to check

The plan calculates 96 points in the baseline and 88 with onboarding. It identifies a four-point gap in the second scenario and states the assumptions.

Frequently asked question

Can I forecast delivery by multiplying output by headcount?

Use observed output as the baseline and model start dates, mentoring, and support work separately.
