Because capacity is planned in a spreadsheet against people's names, while the work is assigned somewhere else entirely. The spreadsheet says a developer has room; their task list says they have three weeks of work due Friday.
Nobody reconciles the two until something is late, at which point the answer is always that everyone was busier than the plan thought.
Capacity reads assignments and estimates directly. A person's load is the sum of what is actually assigned to them in the period, against their working pattern in Nest — including leave, which is why a booked holiday reduces available hours without anyone re-keying it.
Overcommitment shows before the work starts rather than after it is late. Moving a deadline shows immediately who it frees and who it now overloads.
Hiring and subcontracting conversations start from a number rather than a feeling, and the number can be traced to specific commitments.
It will not tell you how fast someone works. It knows what was estimated and what was assigned; whether the estimate was right is what velocity in the agile hub is for.
It also will not reassign work automatically. It shows the imbalance and leaves the decision with whoever has to have the conversation.
Nothing here is an integration. Each line is two products reading the same record from different sides.

Fourteen days, every module, no card. Or half an hour with someone who will run it on your own records and tell you where it does not help.
