TL;DR
Govern active demand against scarce delivery capacity instead of managing calendars as a proxy.
What the paper develops
A portfolio calendar can show when activity is planned without showing whether the organization has the scarce roles, skills, attention, and dependency capacity to deliver it. This paper repositions the EPMO around active demand and constrained capacity. It gives leaders a way to expose overload, compare tradeoffs, and decide which commitments move, change shape, or wait.
The operating move
Govern demand against real constrained capacity by role, skill, and dependency. Calendar activity is an output; the portfolio decision is which work receives scarce capacity and which work waits.
