About this tool
Sprint Velocity Calculator
The Sprint Velocity Calculator computes average velocity, trend direction, capacity-adjusted forecast, and commitment accuracy from historical sprint data.
• Calculate average velocity before sprint planning to set realistic commitments
• Adjust velocity forecast for a sprint with reduced capacity due to holidays
• Identify a declining velocity trend early for team health discussion
• Compute commitment accuracy to diagnose consistent over- or under-commitment

FAQ
What does this tool tell you?
The Sprint Velocity Calculator computes average velocity, trend direction, capacity-adjusted forecast, and commitment accuracy from historical sprint data.
What affects the result most?
Sprint velocity: average story points completed per sprint over last 3-6 sprints. Capacity adjustment: velocity × (available_days / sprint_days) for sprints with holidays or PTO. Velocity trend: improving trend vs declining trend — early warning for team health issues.
How should I use the result?
The calculation is deterministic — the same inputs always produce the same output — so the most useful workflow is to vary one input at a time and see which factor moves the result most. That tells you where to focus your attention before committing to a decision.
