In the example above, every single work type is accumulating \u2014 and High-Impact Issues dominate at 83 in \/ 78 out. The system is taking on more than it&#8217;s delivering, and one category is consuming most of the capacity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<section class=\"core-heading\"><div class=\"container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What This Looks Like in Practice<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<section class=\"core-paragraph\"><div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A team lead opens the CFD and switches to the demand vs capacity view. She groups by two-week periods and breaks down by work type.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/demand-vs-capacity-2weeks-view.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"5118\" height=\"2880\" src=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/demand-vs-capacity-2weeks-view.jpg\" alt=\" demand-vs-capacity-2weeks-view\" class=\"wp-image-7719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/demand-vs-capacity-2weeks-view.jpg 5118w, https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/demand-vs-capacity-2weeks-view-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/demand-vs-capacity-2weeks-view-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/demand-vs-capacity-2weeks-view-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/demand-vs-capacity-2weeks-view-700x394.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5118px) 100vw, 5118px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n<section class=\"core-paragraph\"><div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pattern jumps out. High-Impact Issues dominate everything \u2014 83 in, 74 out over 54 weeks. That&#8217;s two thirds of all demand. The team is spending almost all of its capacity reactively solving issues. Features barely register: 18 High-Impact Features arrived in the same period, 13 delivered. The ratio tells the story \u2014 for every feature the team ships, they&#8217;re handling nearly five issues.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<section class=\"core-paragraph\"><div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This isn&#8217;t a team that&#8217;s falling behind. It&#8217;s a team trapped in reactive mode. The capacity exists. It&#8217;s being consumed by issue resolution, leaving almost nothing for the work that moves the product forward.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<section class=\"core-paragraph\"><div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without the breakdown, the team lead walks into the planning meeting saying &#8220;we&#8217;re keeping up.&#8221; With it, she walks in saying &#8220;two thirds of our demand is issues. If we don&#8217;t address the source of these issues, we&#8217;ll never get back to building features. Here&#8217;s where we need to make a decision.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<section class=\"core-heading\"><div class=\"container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Tooltip Tells the Full Story<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/demand-vs-capacity-tooltip.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"5118\" height=\"2880\" src=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/demand-vs-capacity-tooltip.jpg\" alt=\"demand-vs-capacity-tooltip\" class=\"wp-image-7718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/demand-vs-capacity-tooltip.jpg 5118w, https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/demand-vs-capacity-tooltip-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/demand-vs-capacity-tooltip-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/demand-vs-capacity-tooltip-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/demand-vs-capacity-tooltip-700x394.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5118px) 100vw, 5118px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n<section class=\"core-paragraph\"><div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hover over any segment and the tooltip shows you everything. In this example: High-Impact Issues in the 11 May period \u2014 7 arrived, 6 delivered, 87.5% of all arrivals, net +1 accumulating. One glance tells you this category is the dominant source of demand and it&#8217;s slightly outpacing throughput.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<section class=\"core-paragraph\"><div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The share percentages recalculate based on what&#8217;s visible. Click a legend item to hide a category, and the percentages adjust to show you the composition of what remains. This matters when you want to isolate just two or three work types and compare their demand patterns without the noise of everything else.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/demand-vs-capacity-filtered.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"5118\" height=\"2880\" src=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/demand-vs-capacity-filtered.jpg\" alt=\"demand-vs-capacity-filtered\" class=\"wp-image-7720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/demand-vs-capacity-filtered.jpg 5118w, https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/demand-vs-capacity-filtered-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/demand-vs-capacity-filtered-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/demand-vs-capacity-filtered-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/demand-vs-capacity-filtered-700x394.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5118px) 100vw, 5118px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n<section class=\"core-heading\"><div class=\"container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Conversation This Enables<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<section class=\"core-paragraph\"><div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every team has a capacity constraint somewhere.
