Make Time Shortages Concrete through Plans and Actual Effort

Review time shortages by comparing planned and actual effort with needed support. Calculate workload against available time alongside personal habits.

Account for commitments such as care responsibilities and choose work to defer or share.

Record Work and Fixed Commitments

Record work, travel, communication, and care time. Include previously omitted commitments in later plans.

Adjust volume and dates when required work exceeds capacity.

Choose Communication Changes and Needed Support

Atlassian’s meeting audit identifies work suited to other formats. (Atlassian: Audit team meetings) Compare purpose and effort in daily communication too.

Specify tasks and material needed by support providers.

Update Intake and Schedules That Exceed Capacity

Compare intake with deliverable work. Update scope or dates when postponement or intake changes are needed.

Keep public pages aligned with actual scope and availability.
