How to use Sprint Work Per Person Calculator

1. Enter Story Points Planned, Team Size in the labelled units. 2. Team size must be positive. This division is only an arithmetic average; it does not assign tasks or measure an individual’s performance. 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 the numeric average of planned story points per person for sprint story points. Use the same team, estimation scale and completion definition when choosing a recent velocity.

How the calculation works

Average = planned story points ÷ whole team size. Team size must be positive. This division is only an arithmetic average; it does not assign tasks or measure an individual’s performance. 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 ÷ 4 people = a numeric average of 25 story points per person.

Practical tip

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