Sprint Planning Calculator
Overview
The Sprint Planning Calculator skill supports Agile teams in planning sprints effectively. It calculates team capacity based on availability, applies focus factors for realistic planning, and supports various estimation techniques including Planning Poker with multiple estimation scales.
Capabilities
Capacity Calculation
- Calculate team capacity based on availability
- Factor in focus factor for realistic planning
- Account for holidays, PTO, and meetings
- Support part-time team member calculations
- Handle team composition changes
Estimation Support
- Support Planning Poker estimation sessions
- Provide reference story comparisons
- Support multiple estimation scales (Fibonacci, T-shirt, powers of 2)
- Track estimation accuracy over time
- Calculate estimate confidence levels
Sprint Commitment
- Calculate velocity-based sprint commitment
- Apply capacity-to-velocity ratios
- Identify capacity risks and constraints
- Generate sprint goal recommendations
- Track commitment vs. completion ratios
Analysis and Reporting
- Compare planned vs. actual capacity utilization
- Generate sprint planning reports
- Calculate sprint success probability
- Identify planning anti-patterns
- Produce retrospective input data
Usage
