This is one of nine dimensions in the OpsCorp method. The Planning Readiness Scorecard assesses your program across all nine in under ten minutes.
What It Is
The Constraints Calendar maps every hard deadline, budget cycle, regulatory window, and organizational event that constrains when work can happen. Every other planning artifact depends on knowing what’s fixed before you plan what’s flexible, which is why we build this first.
Why It Matters
Teams routinely build plans that ignore the calendar: scheduling launches during code freezes, planning workshops during earnings season, setting milestones that collide with annual reviews. The Constraints Calendar catches those conflicts before anyone builds a plan around them.
