So that told you some of your batch WASN'T (in business terms) truly discretionary. Glad you (by the sound of it) pulled the stuff that mattered if it never ran out of SYSOTHER.

Biggest hassle for me when I started softcapping was that most of my batch had been discretionary - I always liked the MTTW algorithm. But when we softcapped all that discretionary workload went to the meat locker, and we couldn't have that. Had to do some triage and creative stuff with velocity goals and performance periods to make things right again. -- David Andrews A. Duda & Sons, Inc.
