I use the Sprint Team Capacity Calculator Chrome Extension for all of my scrum teams during sprint planning. Works great!

Hello Sir, I have seen more than 10 videos of yours on Scrum concepts they have been explained in very descriptive way and I must really thank you for that.
Only one suggestion from my end is to please explain them using real time project scenario like you have done in this capacity planning one. Here you took a chart, considered holidays and have shown the calculation. On similar lines if you can add more examples it would possibly the best series on you tube of Scrum Tutorial

[chinedufelix]

[nawidshinwari]

Thank you for these awesome educational videos! I wanted to know if there is anyway you can share these excel templates for every ceremony so we can use it as well.

Thank you!

Maybe we should deduct Lunch (1hr) and tea breaks as well (15mins to 30 min depending on country practice e.g. UK have two 15 min breaks - tea break in the morning and smoko in the afternoon)

Hi Niladri, very good and easy to understand explanation of capacity planning. I have a query as per the explanation there were Story points capacity planning and hour based planning. There was a detailed explanation on hour based capacity planning, can you please explain how to do based on Story points? Thanks

[alookachaloo]

Hi Niladri, awesome explanation!!.
One question though, once you are done with capacity planning in hours. How do you come up with story points that can be taken up in these hours (assuming its a first sprint and we have no prior data available)
Regards,
Ankit Mittal

Thanks a lot for your efforts and making this video. Do you have any similar video where capacity planning is done using story points? Kindly share the link.

If starting day of new sprint is a holiday, is it fine to skip this day and exclude from the new sprint?

[wetuberaju]

Think usually we keep aside all the hours spend outside like daily ceremonies like standup, backlog refinment and other clarification say 2 hours/day. So we are left with 6 hours /day for each person for the day. So actually full capacity for each person will be 6 * 10 ( for 2week sprint) 60 hours for the sprint.

[milindchavan]

Very good explanation, I have one question when to do the sprint capacity planning and sprint planing if we are having a 2 weeks sprint
