Calculations are based on the below logic :

  • Start/End dates of the Sprint are taken in consideration

  • Then the capacity of the resource(s) defined in the template is taken

  • Resource leaves are removed from the calculation

  • The Focus value of each resource is also taken into account. For eg if Focus is 0.5 and capacity is 8 hrs
    per day, then it is assumed that the resource will spend 8 * 0.5 = 4 hrs per day in the sprint

  • Non working day as setup in team settings (for example Saturday/Sunday) are removed

  • Any team holiday(s) are removed

As per above parameters, the app scans through all the issues in the Sprint and which issues are assigned to each resource. For each issue

  • Time Spent and Original Estimates values are taken into consideration.

  • Original Estimate value is used for Allocated Capacity for the assigned resource.

  • For eg Issue 1 in the Sprint

    • Original Estimate = 8 hrs

    • Assigned resource = User 1

    • Then Allocated Capacity = 8 hrs for User 1

The app then calculates the total duration for the sprint, the time spent by each resource on the assigned issues and checks the attached capacity template to calculate the allocated hours and remaining capacity.
