Workload by role and week
Dataset · SQ-70
Spot the week when one role blocks three initiatives
Overall capacity can look sufficient while a precise skill turns negative over a short period. The roadmap must therefore track the workload at role and week level.
Fictitious eight-week set for marketing ops, content, design and product marketing.
- 01Clean the capacity
Remove run, leave, meetings and safety margin from the theoretical days.
- 02Load
Assign the days to the weeks when the role must actually step in.
- 03Propagate
Link the shortfall to the dependent milestones and initiatives.
- 04Resolve
Rephase, split or reinforce before changing the final date.
Net workload by role over eight weeks
The extract shows the marketing ops bottleneck in W4: a 12-day shortfall threatens three downstream milestones.
Weekly slack = net available days − planned workload| Week | Role | Available | Workload | Slack | Milestones exposed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| W1 | Marketing ops | 18 d | 14 d | +4 d | Tracking |
| W2 | Product marketing | 16 d | 15 d | +1 d | Message |
| W3 | Design | 20 d | 23 d | −3 d | Creative assets |
| W4 | Marketing ops | 18 d | 30 d | −12 d | CRM · scoring · dashboard |
| W5 | Content | 24 d | 21 d | +3 d | Sales kit |
| W6 | Marketing ops | 18 d | 22 d | −4 d | Acceptance |
| W7 | Product marketing | 16 d | 13 d | +3 d | Enablement |
| W8 | Design | 20 d | 16 d | +4 d | Optimisation |
01The design shortfall in W3 is absorbed by the W8 margin; the marketing ops one in W4 is not.
02Moving the dashboard back by two weeks frees 7 days but still leaves 5 days to handle.
03Scoring is cut back to a minimal version, which brings the W4 margin to zero without moving the launch.
Fictitious data. Days are not interchangeable between roles and must include the recurring workload.
