Copy into Workspace yourself:

Use weekly-capacity.csv, incoming-work.csv and planning-instructions.md in this Project. Save capacity-plan.xlsx with gross hours, unavailable hours, commitments, remaining capacity and incoming demand by role. Save planning-brief.md with the role-specific gaps and proposed options for owner review. Do not treat role hours as interchangeable, subtract time twice, schedule requests or contact anyone.

Illustrative result:
# Weekly capacity — planning draft

Remaining: delivery 4 hours; design 4 hours; operations 8 hours. Total: 16 hours.

Incoming requests: design 10 hours; delivery 6 hours; operations 4 hours.

Decision points: design needs 6 more hours and delivery 2 more hours. The operations request fits, leaving 4 operations hours.

Next conversation: agree scope, sequencing or revised estimates. No new work has been scheduled.

Illustrative draft using fictional data.

Review checklist:
- Each role’s remaining hours follow the source definitions.
- The brief shows the design and delivery gaps separately.
- The owner can compare options before agreeing work.
