About Story Point Calculator
Calculate story points using Fibonacci scale with complexity factors (technical, uncertainty, effort). Includes sprint capacity planning based on team velocity.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are story points calculated from complexity factors?
The three factors (Technical Complexity, Uncertainty, Effort) are averaged and mapped to the Fibonacci scale. Higher average scores map to larger story points, reflecting increased effort and risk.
What is team velocity?
Velocity is the average number of story points your team completes per sprint. Track this over several sprints for accuracy. Use historical data to predict future capacity.
How do I estimate the complexity factors?
Rate each factor 1-5: Technical Complexity considers architectural challenges and unknowns. Uncertainty reflects requirements clarity and external dependencies. Effort estimates the raw amount of work needed.
