Sprint Velocity Calculator

Summary

Enter story points completed per sprint to calculate your average velocity and forecast how many sprints remain to finish your backlog.

How it works

1. Enter the number of story points completed in each past sprint.
2. Add as many sprints as you have data for — at least two is recommended.
3. The tool calculates your average velocity across all entered sprints.
4. Enter your total remaining backlog story points.
5. The forecaster divides remaining points by average velocity to estimate sprints needed.
6. Review the summary and adjust sprint count or backlog as your plan evolves.

Use cases

• Forecast a release date based on historical team velocity.
• Identify sprint-over-sprint velocity trends to spot scope creep or team blockers.
• Communicate realistic delivery timelines to stakeholders without guesswork.
• Compare velocity before and after team-size or process changes.
• Plan PI (Program Increment) objectives in SAFe environments.
• Help new teams establish a baseline during the first few sprints.
• Estimate how many sprints a new epic will take given current velocity.
• Support retrospectives by visualizing velocity consistency.
