Capacity Planning

Estimating the amount of work a team can realistically complete during a single iteration or program increment.

Key Points

  • Uses team availability, skills, holidays, and existing commitments to forecast workable load.
  • Informs iteration/PI scope so the team neither overcommits nor sits idle.
  • Often expressed in story points, ideal hours, or average throughput based on historical data.
  • Recalibrated each planning cycle to reflect changes in WIP, dependencies, and risks.

Example

Before PI planning, a team totals 60 person-days for the next iteration after accounting for vacations and support duties. Their recent average throughput is about 25 story points per iteration. They set a target of 24-26 story points, reserve a small buffer for unplanned work, and select backlog items to match that capacity.

PMP Example Question

During iteration planning, a Scrum team reviews member availability, recent velocity, and known support work to set a realistic commitment. What practice are they applying?

  1. Release burnup tracking
  2. Definition of Done
  3. Capacity planning
  4. Earned value analysis

Correct Answer: C — Capacity planning

Explanation: Capacity planning determines how much work the team can take on in the upcoming iteration or program increment based on availability and historical performance.
