Sprint Remaining Work Calculator

Calculate remaining story points and work above the plan for sprint story points.

How to use Sprint Remaining Work Calculator

1. Enter Story Points Planned, Story Points Completed in the labelled units. 2. An above-plan amount is shown rather than silently discarded. Check changes in scope and completion definitions. Story points are a team planning scale, not hours or individual productivity. These constant-velocity calculations are forecasts, not delivery promises or Scrum requirements. 3. Select Calculate or press Enter to see the result. 4. Select Select Copy result to copy the answer, or Reset to clear the form.

Why use this tool?

Use this tool to calculate remaining story points and work above the plan for sprint story points. Use the same team, estimation scale and completion definition when choosing a recent velocity.

How the calculation works

Remaining = max(planned − completed story points, 0); excess = max(completed − planned, 0). An above-plan amount is shown rather than silently discarded. Check changes in scope and completion definitions. Story points are a team planning scale, not hours or individual productivity. These constant-velocity calculations are forecasts, not delivery promises or Scrum requirements. Numeric results use up to six decimals, with scientific notation for tiny nonzero values. Fractional averages and capacity are equivalents; allocate whole items and remainders separately when appropriate. Entered decimal arithmetic is applied before display rounding. Numeric inputs/results and durations in seconds are bounded by magnitude 9,007,199,254,740,991. Forecast context: https://scrumguides.org/scrum-guide.html

Example

Sprint Backlog example: 100 planned story points − 75 completed points = 25 story points remaining.

Practical tip

Use the same team, estimation scale and completion definition when choosing a recent velocity.
