How does this skill help calculate team capacity?

It utilizes a standardized table format that accounts for individual member availability, daily working hours, and a focus factor (usually 0.7) to determine the effective total hours and point capacity for a sprint.

What is the recommended duration for a planning session using this skill?

The skill follows industry best practices, suggesting a time-box of 2 to 4 hours for a typical two-week sprint, divided equally between scope selection and technical execution planning.

How does the skill handle user story estimation?

The skill provides templates for mapping team capacity to story points based on historical velocity and encourages the use of techniques like Planning Poker for team-wide consensus.

Can I use this for non-Scrum agile frameworks?

Yes. While the skill is optimized for Scrum ceremonies, its principles for capacity modeling, task breakdown, and goal setting are applicable to Kanban, XP, or any iterative development workflow.
