Agent 04 ยท Project management

Capacity-aware deadline risk agent

Flags tasks at real risk of missing deadlines based on actual workload, not just due dates.

Walkthrough

Watch me explain this agent.

Live agent walkthrough โ€” coming tomorrow

I'm recording a video walkthrough of this agent. Check back tomorrow to see it in action.

The pain point

Deadline warnings today are binary โ€” a task is either due or overdue. No one looks at whether the assignee actually has the hours to complete it. Managers only discover a delivery is at risk after it's already missed.

The goal

Predict delivery risk before it happens by cross-referencing a task's estimated hours, the assignee's open workload, and remaining calendar time โ€” then flag proactively so managers can act before it's too late.

How the agent works

Step by step.

Step 01
Scan all open tasks with estimated hours
Step 02
Calculate assignee's total open workload
Step 03
Compare to working hours until deadline
Step 04
Flag as risk if hours don't fit
Step 05
Notify manager with context
In action

Task due Friday ยท estimated 10 hrs ยท employee has 3 other open tasks totalling 35 hrs ยท only 16 working hours left until deadline

At risk โ€” 45 hrs of work, 16 hrs availableโ†’ Manager notified with suggested actions
Business value

What changes for your team.

Earlier
risk spotted days before deadline, not after
Fairer
workload visibility prevents silent burnout
Less
reactive firefighting and missed SLAs
Work impact

Project managers gain a real-time capacity radar instead of gut-feel tracking. Teams can re-prioritize or redistribute work while there's still time. Estimated hours in monday go from being ignored metadata to a live operations signal.
