delivery windows, dependencies, priorities and capacity.
- Own and mature portfolio level resource demand and capacity planning, identifying gaps, over-allocation, bottlenecks and critical capability constraints.

- Identify emerging scheduling, dependency and capacity risks early and provide practical, evidence-based recommendations.
- Partner with sponsors, leaders, project and program managers and resource owners to understand priorities, constraints and delivery readiness.
