Description
In these days of shortened fiscal horizons and contracted time-to-market schedules, traditional approaches to capacity planning are often seen by management as tending to inflate their production schedules. Rather than giving up in the face of this kind of relentless pressure to get things done faster, "Guerrilla Capacity Planning" tries to facilitate rapid forecasting of capacity requirements based on whatever performance measurements available in such a way that management insight is expanded but their schedules are not. The key idea is tactical planning whereby capacity planning is executed in an opportunistic way such that management schedules are not inflated. It's that last constraint that many performance analysts and capacity planners overlook (possibly at their peril).
