Claim One:
1. A software development pipeline timing tool that comprises: an interface component stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium and executable by a computer to accept, for each of multiple projects in a software development pipeline, a set of inputs that for each project includes 1) timing constraints, 2) demand inputs, 3) supply inputs, wherein timing constraints include timing of availability of hardware, software, and vendor labor, demand inputs include enterprise labor demand for the project, vendor labor demand for the project, hardware demand, and software demand, and wherein supply constraints include enterprise labor supply, vendor labor supply, hardware supply, and software supply; a feasibility determination component stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium and executable by a computer to aggregate the inputs and timing constraints, and identify one or more discrepancies between the supply and demand in the software development pipeline when the demand inputs and the supply inputs are not in balance with the input timing constraints; and a reporting component that generates a coded report, wherein a first code indicates when the number of discrepancies exceeds a threshold number of discrepancies, a second code indicates when the number of discrepancies does not exceed the threshold number of discrepancies, and a third code indicates a type and timing of each discrepancy.
