Agile Velocity Planning Calculator
Calculate team velocity and sprint capacity for agile project planning
About this calculator
The Agile Velocity Planning Calculator helps Scrum teams measure their development speed and plan future sprints effectively. By analyzing historical sprint data, it calculates your team's average velocity in story points or tasks completed per sprint. This tool enables accurate sprint capacity planning, realistic commitment setting, and improved project forecasting. Teams can identify performance trends, set achievable goals, and communicate delivery timelines more confidently to stakeholders.
How to use
Enter your team's completed story points or tasks from previous sprints into the calculator. Add team capacity factors like available working days, team size, and any planned absences. The calculator will compute your average velocity and suggest optimal sprint capacity for upcoming iterations based on historical performance.
Frequently asked questions
What is velocity in Agile development?
Velocity measures how much work a team completes in a sprint, typically expressed in story points or completed tasks per sprint cycle.
How many sprints of data do I need for accurate velocity calculation?
Use at least 3-5 recent sprints for reliable velocity calculations, though 6-10 sprints provide more accurate trend analysis.
Should velocity include incomplete work from previous sprints?
Only count fully completed and accepted work. Partially finished stories should be excluded from velocity calculations until completion.
