How It Works

The Sprint Capacity Planner takes the guesswork out of agile commitments by applying mathematical rigor to schedule constraints. Rather than relying exclusively on velocity—which ignores holidays, sickness, and company-wide meetings—this tool calculates actual available time on calendar.

It breaks down ideal team hours into Net Working Time (after PTO and holidays) and scales anticipated story point delivery to match real availability. Focus factor further distills this net time into an Effective Capacity, reserving a runway for daily standups, rituals, and unexpected interruptions.

Key Formulas

Net Working Hours

(Team * Days * Hrs/Day) - PTO

Projected Velocity
