Overview
Capacity risk is the potential for resource limitations to cause losses or low performance. For example, an online video game that promotes a new release only to have massive outages at launch due to unexpectedly high demand for the service. Capacity risks can apply to physical resources such as warehouse space, technical resources such as data storage space, process throughput and staffing limitations.
