The Capacity
Planning Practice

Support

Supported by Anacay

Anacay supports the Capacity Planning Practice the way a company supports a foundation. It gives what an open project needs to get started, and it takes no control over what the practice says.

What Anacay gives

  • A home on the web. The domain and hosting, paid for by Anacay, and the GitHub account that holds the repository.
  • Editing time. The founder, Guillermo Martinez, wrote the seed paper and edits for now.
  • Stewardship. Keeping the lights on and enforcing the code of conduct, until the community runs it (see Governance).

What Anacay doesn’t get

  • No say over content. Editors call consensus in the open. The steward doesn’t override them.
  • No promotion. No Anacay services, offers or sales links appear anywhere in the practice.
  • No data. No first or private access to contributions, cases, survey answers or email.
  • No revenue. The practice charges nothing and earns nothing: no fees, ads, sponsorships or paid tiers.
  • No ownership of the text. It’s licensed CC BY-SA 4.0. Anyone can copy or fork it, and nobody can take it private.

Anacay’s interest, disclosed

Anacay is an advisory company, and capacity planning is one of the things it advises on. A stronger, shared body of knowledge is good for the field, and Anacay benefits from the field doing well. That’s why the rules above exist, and why they’re written down where anyone can check them.

For now the practice is mostly one person: the founder, who is also a co-founder of Anacay. That’s the conflict, stated plainly. It shrinks as other editors join, and the path to a community-run body says how.

Later

The plan is to hand the practice to a community-run body once there is one. The governance page sets out the stages and the handover. When that happens, this page will say who supports the practice then.
