Number of Stories

The quantity of user stories completed within a single sprint, recorded either as a simple tally or as a weighted total.

Key Points

  • Tracks how many user stories are finished in a single sprint (team throughput).
  • Can be a simple count or a weighted count based on agreed size or complexity rules.
  • Only stories that meet the Definition of Done are included; partial work is excluded.
  • Useful for forecasting and trend analysis, but it does not by itself indicate effort or value.

Example

In Sprint 6, the team completes 8 user stories. Using a weighted scheme (S=1, M=2, L=3), they finish 3 small, 4 medium, and 1 large story. The simple Number of Stories is 8; the weighted Number of Stories is 3*1 + 4*2 + 1*3 = 14.

PMP Example Question

  4. Burndown Rate

Explanation: Number of Stories measures how many user stories are delivered in a sprint, either as a simple count or a weighted count.

AI Systems with Claude, for Scrum Masters and Project Managers

Most AI pilots in project management do not fail on the model. They fail because somebody pointed the thing at a decision instead of at a task. This course is built around that distinction, and around the work that follows once you get it right.

Eight teaching sections, taught against one running project from the first lecture to the last. You watch a system get built, then you build the same one against your own sprint. Nothing here is a demo that works only on the example.

You finish with five working systems and you keep them. The sprint report machine turns your board export and standup notes into the report you currently write by hand. The retro intelligence system tells you what the team keeps saying, not just what it said this time. The stakeholder comms engine drafts the update in the register the audience expects. The backlog health monitor flags the quiet decay nobody has time to check for. The risk and dependency tracker follows the chains that actually bite.

Seventy-six working files ship with it, across four sections, so every system is built against real sprint data rather than material invented for a slide. Four sprints of retrospectives, board exports, standup notes, backlog and risk data.
