The Thursday capacity meeting existed to answer one question: who has room next week? Everyone arrived with a different spreadsheet and left with a rough consensus that was out of date by Monday.
Once load is visible continuously, the meeting has nothing left to decide. This is what changed for us, and what we would look at first if you are trying to retire the same meeting.
