It’s no wonder that a recent study found that 53% of people regularly feel overworked, leading them to suffer stress-related consequences.

It’s a high-level process that proactively evaluates these factors over weeks or months. It influences the type and volume of work your team takes on. And it shapes hiring decisions, too. For example, deciding whether you have enough developers with experience coding in C++ to execute a potential four-month project successfully.
