planbarer

Planbarer is a term used in German-language contexts to denote the property or category of something that can be planned. It is derived from the adjective planbar, meaning "able to be planned," with the agentive or nominal suffix -er. In practice, planbarer is encountered mainly in technical or analytical prose when a writer needs to refer to “a thing that can be planned” or to personified concepts that possess planning feasibility. The related noun Planbarkeit expresses the general quality or feasibility of planning, as in Die Planbarkeit von Projekten or Die Planbarkeit von Terminplänen.

In everyday usage the form planbarer as a standalone noun is uncommon; when it appears, it tends to do so in specialized contexts such as project management, urban planning, or risk assessment, often as a shorthand for ein Planbarer or ein planbares Element. More common in German are the adjective planbar and the noun Planbarkeit, which convey the same idea of feasibility, predictability, or schedulability of elements like tasks, deadlines, and resources.

Usage examples include phrases like ein planbarer Termin (a schedulable date) or planbare Ressourcen (planable resources). The concept is closely related to planning processes, forecastability, and scheduling, and its emphasis is on the extent to which future states can be anticipated and organized. In English-language contexts, the approximate equivalents are planable or plannable, with Planbarkeit commonly rendered as planning feasibility.
