Fund a portfolio without exceeding the envelope or the capacity
The plan’s allocation applies to initiatives already decided. Each commitment links a full cost, an available capacity, a dependency and a release gate.
Fictitious data set for five initiatives, an approved envelope of €900k and 310 days of net capacity.
- 01Import
Start from the initiatives already decided and from the approved envelope.
- 02Cost
Separate committed cost, optional cost and required workload on a common basis.
- 03Gate
Condition each release on a dependency, an item of evidence and an owner.
- 04Balance
Rephase or withdraw until budget and capacity are met at the same time.
Five-initiative portfolio under a double constraint
The portfolio stays executable only if the sum of commitments respects the envelope and the workload stays under net capacity.
Executable portfolio = Σ committed costs ≤ approved budget AND Σ retained days ≤ net capacity| Initiative | Linked objective | Committed | Optional | Days required | Days retained Q2 | Q2 decision | Gate | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Account programme | Qualified pipeline | €210k | €40k | 72 d | 72 d | Commit | Gate W2 | Demand gen |
| Sales enablement | Conversion | €120k | €20k | 58 d | 58 d | Commit | Gate W3 | Sales enablement |
| Measurement migration | Management | €180k | €30k | 96 d | 96 d | Commit | Gate W4 | Marketing ops |
| Partner programme | Indirect pipeline | €140k | €50k | 64 d | 64 d | Commit | Gate W5 | Channel lead |
| Evidence content | Activation | €90k | €60k | 44 d | 20 d | Rephase 24 d | Gate W6 | Content lead |
01Initial commitments total €740k and 334 days: the budget passes, but capacity blocks.
02Rephasing content by 24 days brings Q2 back to 310 days: the committed allocation becomes feasible at €740k.
03The €200k of optional cost stays blocked: it exceeds the €160k budget margin by €40k and its workload is not yet documented.
04An initiative funded without an available owner or a dated prerequisite cannot be executed.
