Agile Velocity Calculator
Calculate team velocity and sprint capacity for agile project planning
About this calculator
The Agile Velocity Calculator helps scrum teams measure their development speed and plan future sprints effectively. By tracking story points completed over multiple sprints, teams can establish their average velocity and predict realistic sprint capacity. This tool enables better sprint planning, resource allocation, and delivery forecasting, making it essential for agile project management and maintaining consistent team performance across development cycles.
How to use
Enter the story points completed in each of your recent sprints (typically 3-6 sprints for accuracy). The calculator will compute your team's average velocity and suggest optimal sprint capacity. Use this data to plan upcoming sprints and set realistic expectations for stakeholders.
Frequently asked questions
How many sprints should I include for accurate velocity calculation?
Use at least 3-6 recent sprints for reliable velocity calculations. More sprints provide better accuracy but ensure they reflect current team composition and conditions.
What's the difference between velocity and capacity in agile?
Velocity measures actual story points completed in past sprints, while capacity represents the maximum work a team can handle in future sprints.
Should I include incomplete story points in velocity calculations?
No, only count fully completed story points that meet your definition of done. Partial work shouldn't be included in velocity measurements.
