Are you in the process of planning your next sprint and are tired of having to ask everyone about their time off and manually calculate story points? With monday dev's Sprint Capacity planning, there's a much simpler way to get this all done.

 

 

 

What is Sprint Capacity planning?

Sprint Capacity planning is a feature that helps you organize, plan, and monitor the workload of an upcoming sprint. No more using a calculator and chasing after everyone to tell you how much they can handle and when their days off are. Automation is the name of the game! Group 1 (34) (1).png

 

How does it work?

You can find the Capacity button in your sprint header, as seen below:Group 2 (1).png

 

The Capacity button will show the team's overall workload while taking into account tasks' estimated story points and each team member's work capacity. 

 

Note: Capacity planning is only available for sprints that have not yet started. If it is still not showing up, try to refresh the sprint.

 

Clicking on the Capacity button will open up a dialog with a breakdown of the workload by team member:Group 2 (2).png

 

Edit team capacity

In order to make changes, click on the Edit team capacity button:Group 3.png

 

This will open up a modal where you can plan work days and velocity for each team member: Group 1 (33).png

 

Then you will see how this updated information will affect that team's workload in real time.Screenshot 2025-05-26 at 12.53.11 1.png
