Overlapping project deadlines create resource allocation guessing games

Non-tech team leads lack visibility into who has capacity for new work because task estimates are unreliable and people don't update status regularly. Managers assign work based on hunches, leading to overloaded team members and missed deadlines. Existing tools show task lists but not realistic workload forecasts.
