What is Workload Management?
The practice of distributing work across a team so no one is overloaded or idle.
Workload management is the discipline of looking at a team's commitments and making sure they're balanced - that one engineer isn't 200% allocated while another is 50%, that critical work isn't piled on the same person, that PTO and sick leave don't cascade into late deliveries. Modern PM tools surface workload as a chart per team member showing hours / tasks / story points assigned per sprint.
When to use
Run a workload check at sprint planning. If someone's at 130% capacity, move work before the sprint starts, not after they burn out.
