Suggestion:
**Resource Management & Capacity Planning**
Plan resources, balance workloads, and optimize team capacity across projects.
<br>
**"Resource Management"** is actually the term most users search for.
However, different audiences expect different capabilities under that label:
* **Project managers:** Who is working on what, and when?
* **PMOs:** Capacity, utilization, and forecasting
* **Line managers:** Team planning, availability, and workload balancing
* **Portfolio managers:** Resource bottlenecks across multiple projects
### What do competitors call it?
Most enterprise tools use a combination of the following terms:

**Conclusion:** _Resource Management_ is the established umbrella term. _Capacity Planning_ is generally seen as a key capability within Resource Management rather than a standalone category.
For marketing and SEO, I suggest to include the two strong search terms.
