Workload Percentage
Compare committed hours against available capacity as a percentage.
About Workload Percentage
Committed hours are divided by total available hours, where one hundred percent means fully booked. Sustained bursts above capacity cause burnout, so a simple percentage makes overload visible before it compounds.
