IV. Capacity Calculation
Individual Capacity
To calculate each team member's capacity, we consider the following factors:
-
Total Working Hours: 8 hours per day
-
Planned Absences: E.g., vacations, public holidays
-
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.
