Content Production Capacity Planner: complete guide
What this worksheet does
Remaining planned load includes Planned and In progress hours, excludes Complete items, and groups by production date. It does not spread work automatically or publish content. Allocate a multi-day deliverable as separate dated work blocks. Completed hours remain visible for recordkeeping.
Keep up to 100 editable entries. The worksheet runs in your browser and does not send its entries to another service. The calculations use the inputs you provide; currency selectors label amounts without conversion.
How to use it
- Set a descriptive worksheet name and complete the settings for your planning period.
- Add one entry per record. Use consistent units and keep the evidence behind your assumptions.
- Calculate and inspect the report, including any review notes. Change an input and calculate again to replace the old result.
- Save an editable backup before changing a scenario. Use the related guide below for the wider operating workflow.

CSV contains the calculated report, not an editable import format. Print / Save PDF opens the browser print dialog; choose Save as PDF where available.
Questions and limits
Is the example my result?
No. It is fictional data. Replace its assumptions with your own records, then calculate again.
Does saving share my worksheet?
No. Device saves belong to this browser. Move an editable worksheet with its JSON backup and keep sensitive information out of a shared device.
Does a report establish that my plan is correct?
No. Arithmetic can be consistent while the input assumptions are wrong. Keep evidence, review the scope described above and check any decisions against your real records.

Move a task and recheck the deadline
In the fictional sample, two two-hour tasks on a three-hour day create a one-hour overload. Moving the full second task to another available three-hour day leaves two hours booked on each day and removes the overload. Confirm that its reviewer and publication deadline allow the move; the worksheet does not resolve those dependencies automatically.
