- Hours per completed article: 6
Completed articles · 6
See the formula
Available team hours ÷ Hours per completed article. Round down to a whole number.
How to interpret the result
Include reporting, editing and approval time. Use the limiting team’s hours if one step is the bottleneck.
Publisher example
32 usable hours at six hours per article support five completed articles, with two hours left. If copy editing is the bottleneck, calculate capacity from editor hours instead.
