IV. Capacity Calculation

Individual Capacity

To calculate each team member's capacity, we consider the following factors:

1. Total Working Hours: 8 hours per day

2. Planned Absences: E.g., vacations, public holidays

3. Meetings and Other Commitments: Daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, etc.

Example Calculation:

• Developer A:

  • Total Working Days: 10

  • Working Hours Per Day: 8

  • Planned Absences: 2 days

  • Meeting Time: 1 hour/day

  • Available Capacity: (10−2)×(8−1)=56(10 - 2) \times (8 - 1) = 56(10−2)×(8−1)=56 hours

Team Capacity

The total team capacity is the sum of individual capacities, allowing us to allocate tasks effectively and avoid over-commitment.

V. Task Allocation

Estimating Workload

Each task is estimated in hours, and tasks are assigned based on team capacity. We prioritize high-value tasks and ensure that the workload is balanced across the team.

Task Distribution Table

Task	Estimated Hours	Assigned Team Member	Priority
Implement Feature X	20	Developer A	High
Design UI for Module Y	15	UX Designer B	Medium
QA Testing for Release Z	10	QA Engineer C	High
Database Optimization	18	Developer D	Medium
