FAQ
what is a sprint planning board
A sprint planning board is a tool used to plan and organise work for a short period, typically 2 weeks. It helps teams prioritise tasks, estimate capacity, and identify potential risks.
how do i calculate my team's velocity
Velocity is calculated by averaging the number of points completed per sprint. For example, if your team completed 30 points in the last sprint, and 35 points in the sprint before that, your average velocity would be around 32.5 points per sprint.
what is the difference between must-haves and stretch goals
Must-haves are essential tasks that must be completed within the sprint, while stretch goals are additional tasks that can be completed if time and resources allow. Stretch goals should only be considered if the must-haves are likely to be completed early.
how much does the sprint planning board cost
The sprint planning board costs £1.00 and is available for purchase on Harnests.
what information do i need to provide to get a sprint planning board

Sample output
**Sprint Board** ### Capacity Total days: 4 engineers × 8 working days = 32 days Oncall/leave: 2 engineers on call rotation, assuming 4 days on call per engineer (average) = 8 oncall days Available days: 32 days - 8 oncall days = 24 days Velocity: 32 points/sprint (average over last 3 sprints) Capacity in points: 24 days × (32 points / 24 days) = 32 points (using historical velocity as a proxy) ### Must-do 1. Invoice retry — 5 points 2. Admin export CSV — 3 points 3. Billing email separate — 5 points Total Must-do points: 5 + 3 + 5 = 13 points **Must-do total is within capacity: 13 points ≤ 32 points** ### Stretch 1. Dark mode — 8 points 2. Webhooks v2 — 13 points **Accept only if Must-do finishes early** ### Parking lot None (all items are either Must-do or Stretch) ### Risks * Oncall rotation may impact velocity * Design and PM resources may be bottlenecks for certain tasks The Must-do total is within the team's capacity, leaving room for Stretch tasks if time allows.
