On the other hand, for those who want to take the planning exercise to an even higher level of value, the key is to be able to do it in a way that we have more resources allocated when we have peak workloads and vice versa.

Having last year's historical data is good, but being able to easily cross-reference it with the schedule planning can be complicated.

A solution like Beam allows you to easily see this data in your planning tool and validate the dimensions with the expected productivity.
