Project Time Allocation Donut Chart

This donut chart summarizes how a design team allocated 160 hours in Sprint 14. Feature design received the largest share, with research and design-system work making up most of the remaining planned capacity. Support and planning are smaller but visible allocations that can grow quietly over time. The chart is useful for a retrospective or resourcing conversation because it makes the trade-offs concrete. It should not be used to judge individual productivity. Agree on simple time categories, record them consistently, and compare several sprints before responding to a one-week fluctuation. Review the underlying definitions and totals before using this view to make an operational decision.
