Financial management
Capacity management contributes to financial management predominantly via the capacity plan. The capacity plan describes and financially quantifies the
resources required to deliver the committed level of service. Where there is a need to acquire new resources, capacity management predicts how much additional
resource will be required and at what point in time. This allows financial
management to budget for the cost of the new resources. During the budget year, as new resources are needed, capacity management will be instrumental in
providing the justification for the actual purchase in terms of size, time and cost.
