SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Compute Capacity solves planning by calculating a team's realistic work capacity for a sprint or PI.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Calculate business days from a date period and subtract holidays.
  • Compute gross and net capacity with PTO deductions and run-rate buffers.
  • Optional conversion to story points for velocity-based planning. Example: planning a 2-week sprint with 6 developers.

Quick Start

Provide the period, team members with roles and availability, PTO schedule (if any), and optional velocity data to generate a capacity report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I calculate team capacity for a sprint while accounting for PTO and holidays?

You can compute team capacity by inputting the sprint period, team members, PTO schedule, and holidays. The calculation subtracts time off and operational buffer percentages from gross business days to output a realistic net capacity report.

What is the best way to convert developer days into story points for sprint planning?

To convert capacity into story points for velocity-based planning, provide the optional velocity per developer day input. The calculation applies this conversion rate to the net available days to generate an estimated story point capacity for the sprint.

How do I factor operational buffers into program increment capacity planning?

Operational buffers are factored into capacity planning by applying a buffer percentage to the gross capacity. This reduces the total plannable work days, ensuring the forecasted program increment capacity accounts for routine operational overhead.

Can I generate a per-person capacity breakdown for a development team?

Yes, you can generate a per-person capacity breakdown. By providing individual team member roles and availability, the output capacity report details each person's specific net work capacity after their PTO is deducted.

Does sprint capacity planning work for part-time team members or custom availability schedules?

Sprint capacity planning supports custom availability by accepting individual team member inputs. The capacity calculation adjusts the gross business days based on each member's specific availability and scheduled time off.

When should I use net capacity instead of gross capacity for PI planning?

Use net capacity for PI planning when your team has scheduled PTO, holidays, or required operational buffers. Net capacity reflects the actual plannable work days available, preventing overcommitment during the program increment.
