Can I use this for non-Scrum workflows?

Yes, while designed for Scrum, the capacity modeling and task breakdown logic can be applied to any iterative project management framework like Kanban or Scrumban.

How does this skill calculate team capacity?

The skill uses a formula that combines available days, hours per day, and a 'Focus Factor' (typically 0.6 to 0.8) to determine the effective hours available for a sprint.

What is the benefit of using this in Claude Code?

It allows developers to transition from technical work to project planning without leaving their terminal, ensuring that sprint goals and tasks are documented directly alongside the codebase.

Does it help with story point estimation?

It provides the framework for Planning Poker and velocity-based capacity planning, helping teams map story points to their available effective hours.
