Estimate realistic sprint capacity from availability, PTO, and focus factor.
Estimate realistic sprint capacity from availability, PTO, and focus factor.
Calculate realistic engineering capacity before committing sprint scope. Factor in team working days, planned PTO, bank holidays, and focus factor to prevent sprint overcommitment and burnout.
Input the number of engineers and total working days in your sprint cadence (typically 10 days for a 2-week sprint).
Subtract planned time off, public holidays, on-call shifts, and recurring sprint ceremonies (planning, retro, refinement).
Apply a realistic focus factor (usually 60%–80%) to generate committed story point or hour limits for sprint planning.
Accounts for unplanned interruptions, meetings, code review overhead, and context switching.
Granular per-developer availability calculations ensuring critical path dependencies aren't assigned to absent members.
Compares calculated available hours against historical average velocity to validate sprint feasibility.
