Capacity Planning Template

1. Team Member Availability (Per Sprint)

Enter PTO, holidays, training, and onboarding ramp days per team member for each sprint. Available days and productive hours auto-calculate.

2. Sprint Capacity Recommendations

Reserve capacity each sprint for unplanned work (customer defects, incidents, support escalations). Adjust the Planned % and Unplanned Reserve % per sprint based on your team's noise level.

Sprint	Planned %	Unplanned Reserve %	Rationale
Sprint 1	%	%	Quarter ramp-up + higher noise from recent releases
Sprint 2	%	%	In rhythm, noise normalizing
Sprint 3	%	%	Peak execution, noise stabilized
Sprint 4	%	%	Mid-quarter steady-state
Sprint 5	%	%	Feature Complete — deploy to customers by end of sprint
Sprint 6	%	%	Enablement — no new features; docs, training, hardening
Quarter	—	—
