10 things you should do to build a solid capacity planning effort

Overview These pointers will help you develop a comprehensive capacity plan that can grow into a manageable and effective formal process.

Trying to predict when you'll need additional resources, how much you'll need, and what type you'll need can be a big challenge, but the right approach can yield significant benefits. In fact, as author Harris Kern points out, a well-implemented capacity plan can pay off in some less obvious ways:

Strengthened relationships with developers and end users
Improved communications with suppliers
Increased collaboration with other infrastructure groups
Promotion of a culture of strategic planning as opposed to tactical firefighting
