Why this program matters

  • Companies that neglect capacity planning incur an average 35 percent budget overruns on their projects.

  • This shortfall leads to chronic delays and underutilization of teams.

  • Project managers see their careers stalled by repeated failures.

  • Without these expert skills, the risks of losing contracts increase sharply.

  • Acting now prevents these costly consequences.

Program

Capacity Planning curriculum: 4 modules over 4 days

Module 1 : Theme: Needs Analysis and Modeling (advanced Excel tools, statistical methods, capacity report deliverables)

Participants explore the fundamentals of capacity planning applied to project management. They use advanced Excel to collect historical data, apply statistical models, and create a comprehensive initial capacity report. Real-world business cases illustrate the adjustments needed for PMI projects.

Module 2 : Theme: Scenario Building and Gantt (MS Project tools, Prince2 methods, optimized planning deliverables)

This day focuses on creating multiple scenarios with MS Project. Learners integrate dynamic Gantt charts, test load hypotheses, and produce a certifying schedule. Practical exercises on real projects strengthen skills in timeline optimization.

Module 3 : Theme: Resource Allocation and Monitoring (Jira tools, PMI methods, dashboard deliverables)

Trainees learn to precisely allocate human and material resources. They configure dashboards in Jira, analyze variances, and generate monitoring reports. Business simulations validate real-time adjustments for enhanced performance.

Module 4 : Theme: Strategic Synthesis and Certification (Power BI tools, advanced methods, final plan deliverables)

The final day covers synthesis of learning using Power BI to visualize trends. Participants finalize a complete strategic plan, incorporate lessons learned, and prepare a certifying presentation. Collaborative workshops ensure direct transposition to professional contexts.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your Capacity Planning training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
