Utilization Rate

Example

A team member who logs 30 billable hours out of a 40-hour week has a 75% utilization rate for that week.

Why it matters

Tracking utilization directly connects staffing decisions to actual workload, revealing whether a team is over or under capacity relative to demand.

Limits and cautions

Targeting very high utilization leaves no buffer for unplanned work and, per queue theory, tends to increase wait times disproportionately.

Relevance to Stelaah

Stelaah's time tracking can calculate utilization directly from logged hours where that data is tracked consistently.

This connection describes product intent, not a guarantee that every plan or workflow supports every related capability.
