How sprint capacity works
How is sprint capacity calculated?
Start with total possible hours, then subtract time off and meetings, and finally adjust for focus, context switching, and any team ramp-up.
Capacity vs velocity
Capacity estimates what time is available now. Velocity reflects what the team has historically delivered. They work best together, not as substitutes.
FAQ
A common starting point is 4 to 8 hours per story point, but teams should calibrate that ratio using their own recent sprints. A healthy focus factor is often between 65% and 80%.
