**Module:** Project

Capacity planning and workload balancing spread tasks evenly across your team so no one burns out from an unsustainable workload.

## Copy

Burnout doesn't appear overnight. It builds gradually as workload accumulates faster than capacity grows. One team member takes on more because they're reliable. Others fall behind because they won't ask for help. Managers don't see the overload until someone quits or breaks down. By then, the damage to morale and retention is already done. The problem isn't that managers don't care—it's that they can't see workload distribution clearly enough to act in time.

This module gives managers the visibility to prevent overload. Capacity planning shows how much work each person can realistically handle, accounting for time off and existing commitments. Workload balancing distributes tasks across the team to keep no one overloaded while others sit idle. The result is a team that can sustain their pace indefinitely because managers catch imbalances before they become crises.

For copywriters: Focus on the manager's blind spot—the good manager who cares but can't see workload distribution clearly. Position visibility as the prerequisite to fairness. The audience wants to be fair to their team; this gives them the data to do so.

## Ideas

- **Angle:** See workload distribution before burnout happens—fairness requires visibility
- **Audience:** Team leads, managers, project managers, department heads worried about burnout and retention
- **Pain points:** Invisible overload, inability to see workload distribution, burnout-driven turnover, uneven task distribution
- **Outcomes:** Sustainable workloads, reduced burnout, better retention, fair task distribution, earlier intervention
- **Vertical spins:** Consulting (billable hour management), software development (sprint planning), professional services (client project balancing)
