Team Utilization Overview

Track each team member’s capacity to ensure healthy workloads and identify availability for new projects.

Team Member	Role	Total Hours/Week	Client Hours	Internal Hours	Available Hours	Utilization %
[Sarah M.]	Account Director	40	28	8	4	70%
[James L.]	SEO Strategist	40	32	4	4	80%
[Priya K.]	Content Manager	40	34	4	2	85%
[Alex T.]	Paid Media Specialist	40	30	6	4	75%
[Morgan R.]	Designer	40	36	2	2	90%
[Chris D.]	Social Media Manager	40	26	6	8	65%
[Taylor W.]	Analytics Lead	40	20	12	8	50%
[Jordan P.]	Junior Copywriter	40	24	8	8	60%
Team Average	—	40	28.75	6.25	5.0	71.9%

⚠️

Optimal utilization is 70–80%. Team members above 85% are at risk of burnout and quality issues. Team members below 60% may need additional client assignments or internal projects. Address imbalances in your next resource planning meeting.

Capacity for New Business

Can we take on a new client right now? Use this table to assess whether the team can absorb additional work.

Role	Current Availability (hrs/week)	Hours Needed per New Client	Can Take On New Client?
Account Director	4	6–8	No — need to offload or hire
SEO Strategist	4	8–12	No — at capacity
Content Manager	2	8–10	No — significantly over-allocated
Paid Media Specialist	4	10–15	No — would need to reduce another client
Designer	2	8–12	No — close to burnout threshold
Social Media Manager	8	8–10	Yes — marginal capacity
Analytics Lead	8	4–6	Yes — available capacity
Junior Copywriter	8	6–8	Yes — could support a new account

💡

Based on current capacity, the team can partially support one new small client (Social + Analytics + Copy). A full-service client would require hiring or reallocating existing resources.

Upcoming Staffing Changes

Track planned changes that will affect team capacity in the coming weeks and months.

Date	Change Type	Team Member	Impact on Capacity
[Date]	PTO / Vacation	[Morgan R.]	−16 design hours for 1 week. Need freelancer backup or redistribute.
[Date]	Parental Leave	[Priya K.]	−34 content hours/week for 12 weeks. Hire contractor immediately.
[Date]	New Hire Start	[New SEO Analyst]	+30 billable hours/week after 2-week ramp. Relieves James L.
[Date]	Promotion	[Jordan P. → Copywriter]	Higher output expected. Shift from 60% to 75% utilization target.
[Date]	Contract End	[Freelance Designer]	−20 overflow design hours/week. Evaluate whether to extend or hire.

Hiring Forecast

Plan ahead for hires based on pipeline, utilization trends, and growth targets.

Role	When Needed	Hiring Trigger	Estimated Annual Cost	Priority
Senior Content Strategist	Q2 2026	Priya’s parental leave + 2 new content-heavy clients in pipeline	$75K–$90K	High
Mid-Level Designer	Q2 2026	Morgan consistently above 85% utilization for 3+ months	$65K–$80K	High
SEO Analyst	Q1 2026 (confirmed)	James at capacity, new SEO-focused clients closing	$55K–$70K	Confirmed
Account Coordinator	Q3 2026	Sarah managing 5+ clients, need support layer	$45K–$55K	Medium
Paid Media Manager	Q3 2026	When paid media retainer revenue exceeds $25K/month	$60K–$75K	Low

Utilization Trends

Track average team utilization month-over-month. Use this data to identify patterns and plan resource investments.

Month	Avg Utilization	Total Billable Hours	Revenue per Hour
[Month 1]	[XX]%	[X,XXX]	$[XXX]
[Month 2]	[XX]%	[X,XXX]	$[XXX]
[Month 3]	[XX]%	[X,XXX]	$[XXX]
[Month 4]	[XX]%	[X,XXX]	$[XXX]
[Month 5]	[XX]%	[X,XXX]	$[XXX]
[Month 6]	[XX]%	[X,XXX]	$[XXX]

💜

If utilization exceeds 80% for 3+ consecutive months and revenue per hour is stable, it’s time to hire — not push the team harder. Sustained over-utilization leads to attrition, which is far more expensive than a timely hire.
