# How can a services or project team use AI to see who is available for upcoming work, so new projects are not promised before there are people to deliver them?

Start from your project schedule, signed and likely work, time off, skills lists and current assignments. AI can build a simple view of upcoming demand against available people by week and skill, flag weeks where work exceeds capacity or people are double booked, and draft options such as moving start dates or bringing in help. Managers check the picture with their teams and decide on staffing, and it is never used to rate individual people.

## What this means in practice

- Use the project schedule, signed and likely work, time off, skills and assignments as the source
- Show upcoming demand against available people by week and skill
- Flag overloaded weeks, double bookings and skills gaps
- Draft options such as moving start dates or bringing in help
- Managers check with their teams and decide on staffing, never rating individuals

## How Lid Vizion approaches it

We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
