Sprint Capacity

Input section

Team

Start with the team shape and the baseline sprint window.

Input section

Time

Define the raw sprint envelope before availability adjustments kick in.

Ceremonies, planning, reviews, and standing syncs.

Used to convert hours into a rough story point envelope.

Input section

Availability

Reflect the team’s real availability instead of idealized best-case throughput.

Time off mode

Focus factor

75%

A realistic team often lands between 65% and 80% once actual maker time is considered.

Input section

Adjustments

Buffers and drag factors that make the model more realistic.

Optional. Used as an empirical ceiling for planning advice.

Lets the tool compare the intended sprint scope against the safer planning band.
