Open toolFrequently asked questions
How do you calculate sprint capacity?+
For each person: (working days in the sprint − days off) × hours a day × the share of their time on this team × a focus factor. Add everyone up for the team's capacity in hours.
What is a focus factor?+
The share of the day left for sprint work after meetings, support, reviews and interruptions. Many teams use 60–80%. Start with 70% and adjust it to match what your team actually delivers.
How many story points should we commit to?+
Take your average velocity from the last few sprints and scale it by this sprint's capacity compared with a normal sprint. If two people are off for half the sprint, commit to fewer points. The range uses your lowest and highest recent sprints.
Is velocity a target?+
No — it's a forecasting tool for the team. Pushing velocity up as a goal tends to inflate estimates rather than speed up delivery.
Can velocity be tracked automatically?+
Yes. TeamTrackin's scrum boards record what each sprint finished and show burndown and velocity reports, with planning poker and stand-ups on the same board.
