Capacity

Professional Management Buzzword General

Bandwidth's more formal sibling: how much work a person or team can absorb. Discussed as if measurable, measured by no one, exceeded by everyone.

Heard in the wild

“The team is at capacity — new requests go to next quarter.”

Tone check: Professional

'At capacity' is a complete sentence. Teams that never say it are either lying or dying.
