SPRINT CAPACITY

Know what your team can realistically deliver.

Understand development and QA capacity before committing work to the sprint.

Set maximum development and QA hours, watch utilization update as work is planned and logged, and see exactly how much room is left before the sprint is overloaded.

SprintUnity Sprint Capacity — capacity limits, sprint duration, team members and capacity utilization

Committed on assumptions,
not on real availability.

Without visible capacity, sprints get planned on optimism — and the gap only shows up once it's too late to fix.

  • Teams commit based on assumptions rather than actual availability.
  • Development and QA capacity can be different.
  • Remaining work may exceed remaining capacity.
  • Overloaded sprints create predictable delivery problems.

How Sprint Capacity Helps

Capacity that's visible before the sprint starts, not discovered halfway through.

Team Availability

Define the available working capacity for the sprint.

Development Capacity

Understand capacity available for development work specifically.

QA Capacity

Account for QA capacity separately from development.

Planned vs Available

Compare committed work against available capacity at a glance.

%

Capacity Utilization

Understand how much of the available capacity is being consumed.
