Explain how you can measure the velocity of the sprint with varying team capacity?

Answer

When planning a sprint usually, the velocity of the sprint is measured on the basis of professional judgement based on historical data. However, the mathematical formula used to measure the velocity of the sprint are,

• first – completed story points X team capacity: If you measure capacity as a percentage of a 40 hours weeks
• Second – completed story points / team capacity: If you measure capacity in man-hours

For our scenario second method is applicable.
