Announcing Powerful New Enhancement to Capacity Planning in Genesys Cloud!

We're thrilled to share that a major new feature is coming soon in Genesys Cloud.  Capacity Plans general availability is targeted for June 30, 2025.  This feature brings new levels of visibility, flexibility, and control to your long-term workforce planning process.

This feature is designed to help you plan smarter, staff accurately, and adapt quickly to shifting needs - all with an intuitive, streamlined experience built directly into the Workforce Management (WFM) module.

Planning Groups & Staffing Groups Association

A prerequisite to creating Capacity Plans is to configure which Planning Groups (PGs) align to specific Staffing Groups (SGs).  This will need to be setup in the Staffing Group configuration UI.

·        You will see a new Capacity Planning tab in the Staffing Group configuration.

·        For each Staffing Group, select the Planning Groups that can be handled by that Staffing Group.

·        An association limit of 10 PGs to 10 SGs.

·        An association summary will be displayed showing all direct and indirect associations.

Create New Capacity Plans with Ease

The new Capacity Plans section lets planners:

·        Search, filter, copy, or delete plans in a list view.

·        Create new capacity plans for up to 2 years using an existing ABM forecast.

·        View warnings if the PG/SG associations conflict with selected forecast.

Capacity Plan Results

·        Once all inputs are entered and the Capacity Plan is saved it will instantly navigate to a BU-level Over/Under staffing summaries page.

·        BU-level Over/Under can be seen in a chart as well as in the grid below the chart.

·        This is a view only results page.  To make modifications drill down to a specific PG/SG association level by clicking on a PG on the right-side panel.

Is there a recommendation for how to structure Staffing Groups when volume is shared? Historically, orgs have created staffing groups for team members who share time off pools. 

For example: 

• Agents 1-3 works: qA, qB, qC
• Agent 4-6 works qB, qC, qD
• Agent 7-10 works: qD, qE, qF

Would the staffing group have to include all agents since there is a small amount of overlap between agents? How does this impact the capacity plan if they don't all work all volume?

Hi @Shelby Cronk,

That's a great question.  In your specific example what you would want to do it to create 3 Staffing Groups.  In SG 1, you would select PG A, PG B, and PG C in the Capacity Planning tab as work these agents can handle.  For SG 2, you would select PG B, PG C, and PG D.  And lastly, for SG 3, you would select PG D, PG E, and PG F.  The system will then recognize that the 3 staffing groups all handle some of the same PGs and therefore will group the staffing groups and planning groups together in what we're calling the staffing associations.  In the capacity plan you will enter how much staff (FTE) you have in staffing group and the system will automatically allocate the right amount of FTE to each of the PGs that they can handle.  I hope that helps. 

Is there a recommendation for how to structure Staffing Groups when volume is shared? Historically, orgs have created staffing groups for team members who share time off pools. 

For example: 

• Agents 1-3 works: qA, qB, qC
• Agent 4-6 works qB, qC, qD
• Agent 7-10 works: qD, qE, qF

Would the staffing group have to include all agents since there is a small amount of overlap between agents? How does this impact the capacity plan if they don't all work all volume?

Team members can only be members of a single staffing group though, correct? So if an org wants both time off limits per supervisor (aka staffing group per supervisor) and accurate capacity planning...they can't from the sounds of this.  They will need to prioritize between the two.

@Shelby Cronk, you are correct, each team member can only be assigned to a single staffing group.  The initial release of Capacity Planning will require staffing group to be associated to the planning groups they can handle, however, it will not be necessary to assign agents to those staffing groups.  Once we begin to pull historical data at the staffing group level then we will want agents assigned to the staffing groups.  But this will be in a later release, so for now you can create separate staffing groups specifically for Capacity Planning if you want to keep them separate.

@Belinda Herrera Can you provide a little bit of clarity to this message?  Are you saying that with the release of the capacity planning we will be able to create separate staffing groups for cap planning, and Time Off planning?   So, an agent can be in a Staffing group for Cap Planning purposes, and also one for Time Off Planning purposes?

Or will we have to create specific staffing groups for capacity planning, and move the agents into those groups whenever we want to utilize the capacity planning tool?

Hello @Russell Donald,

If your staffing groups for time off planning do not align with the staffing groups you would like to use in capacity planning, you could create separate staffing groups specifically for capacity planning and select the PGs for each staffing group.  You would NOT need to assign any agents to these staffing groups as we are not pulling any agent data from the staffing groups into the capacity plans.

I hope that helps to clarify.

@Belinda Herrera Can you provide a little bit of clarity to this message?  Are you saying that with the release of the capacity planning we will be able to create separate staffing groups for cap planning, and Time Off planning?   So, an agent can be in a Staffing group for Cap Planning purposes, and also one for Time Off Planning purposes?
