Capacity
Solo and team
Without a system
Where service work leaks.
- Work gets promised without knowing whether the week can actually hold it.
- Hourly, fixed-price, retained, and internal work blur together.
- Billable time has to be reconstructed from memory after the work is done.
- Capacity problems only become obvious after the team is already overloaded.
With Steady
What becomes clear.
- Plan work by client, project, assignee, rate, and billing mode.
- See planned value and scheduled hours as the calendar changes.
- Separate hourly, fixed-price, retained, and non-billable work clearly.
- Use weekly capacity and utilization to understand what the team can safely take on.
What it includes
Built around the details that normally fall through the cracks.
Solo and team views
Plan your own week or coordinate capacity across team members with filters for clients, projects, people, and time.
Planned income visibility
Scheduled hourly work updates planned value before the invoice exists.
Capacity protection
Weekly hours and utilization reporting help you see whether the work fits before it becomes a delivery problem.
Review before invoicing
Review blocks before converting them into time entries so invoices start from clean records.
Billing mode clarity
Fixed-price, retained, hourly, and internal work stay visually distinct on the calendar.
Workflow
Designed for the way client work actually moves.
Steady keeps the commercial context attached as work moves from planning to delivery, client approval, invoicing, and payment.
01
Block the work
Schedule the client work and attach the correct project, team member, rate, retainer, and billing mode.
02
Check capacity
Review the week by member, client, project, scheduled value, hourly work, fixed-price work, and retained work.
03
Convert what happened
Turn completed blocks into time entries with context already attached.
04
Invoice from clean records
Use verified time entries, expenses, retainers, and catalogue items to build invoices without reconstructing the week.
Why it matters
Capacity planning is the start of billing accuracy.
When the calendar understands how work should be billed, the rest of the business loop becomes cleaner.
- Stops hourly work from being forgotten
- Makes retained work visible before it overruns
- Keeps fixed-price delivery visible without double billing
- Shows planned value before invoices are raised
- Gives teams a shared view of committed capacity
- Keeps time entries tied back to planned work
