Scenario · pmo iq
The utilization heatmap showed what the status reports hid — one PM carrying three high-complexity projects at 140%.
Problem statement
A delivery organization tracked capacity in spreadsheets that were stale before the meeting ended. Overload surfaced only when someone escalated — or resigned. One senior PM had quietly absorbed three high-complexity projects; on paper the portfolio was green, in reality its best person was weeks from burning out.
Business objective
Real utilization per person and team, current and forecast.
Overload flagged before it becomes attrition or a missed delivery.
Reassignment decisions based on capacity, not on who complains loudest.
Our solution
(In design — distilled from a working PMO capacity system used in live portfolio practice.)

Capacity data outdated before the meeting ended.
Problems visible only when someone broke.
The portfolio healthy while its best PM ran at 140%.
Utilization per person, current and forecast.
