Calculate budget × capacity feasibility

Question addressed

What share of the portfolio is truly executable with available euros and days?

Direct answer

The calculation retains the lowest coverage rate across budget, total capacity and the most constrained skill.

Decision supported

01Reduce, rephase, reinforce or fund the portfolio before commitment.

02The rule, the evidence and the next review date stay visible.

Calculation · SQ-60

Cap the portfolio by the scarcest resource

Feasibility is not the average of three coverage rates. The smallest rate sets the share that is actually executable.

Working context

Fictitious portfolio of eight initiatives whose budget, net days and marketing ops skill are compared over the same half-year.

  1. 01Normalise

    Bring demand and availability to the same period and the same conventions.

  2. 02Calculate

    Measure financial, overall and critical-skill coverage separately.

  3. 03Cap

    Keep the smallest rate as the execution ceiling.

  4. 04Rebuild

    Rebuild the portfolio until budget, days and critical role are all covered.

Original element

Joint feasibility capped at 69%

Budget and overall days look sufficient at more than 90%, but marketing ops limits execution.

Calculation methodFeasibility = min(available budget ÷ required; available days ÷ required; critical-role capacity ÷ demand)

Decision interpretation

01Funding the eight initiatives does not make them executable: 44 days of marketing ops are missing.

02Outsourcing design alone barely changes the ceiling.

03After withdrawing one migration project and rephasing one test, feasibility reaches 93%.

Fictitious case. The minimum rule assumes that resources are not perfectly substitutable.
