Predict future sprint velocity and project completion timeline based on historical performance
About this calculator
The Agile Velocity Predictor analyzes your team's historical sprint performance to forecast future velocity and project completion timelines. This tool helps Scrum Masters and project managers make data-driven decisions by identifying velocity trends, seasonal variations, and realistic delivery dates. By understanding your team's capacity patterns, you can improve sprint planning accuracy, set realistic stakeholder expectations, and optimize resource allocation for upcoming releases.
How to use
Enter your team's historical sprint data including story points completed per sprint over the last 6-12 sprints. Input your upcoming project's total story points or backlog size. The calculator will analyze velocity patterns, calculate average and trending velocities, then predict completion timelines with confidence intervals based on your team's performance history.

How many sprints of data do I need for accurate predictions?
At least 6 sprints for basic predictions, but 10-15 sprints provide more reliable forecasts and trend analysis.
Should I include sprints with holidays or team changes?
Include all sprints for realistic predictions, as holidays and team changes are normal project variables.
How often should I update my velocity predictions?
Update predictions after each sprint to maintain accuracy and account for recent performance trends.
