Team planning buckets

In the Team Backlog module, use planning buckets to assign items and tasks to team members. During the sprint, view team member progress.

In this topic:

Overview

View the team planning buckets in the Team pane sidebar.

The buckets display information for all sprints or a selected sprint in the release. Each bucket represents one member of your team.

Each team member bucket displays the following:

• The total number of items assigned, including the number of story points

• Number of items still in progress

• The total amount of task hours marked as complete (green) and in progress (blue)

Calculate the sprint capacity

In the team member buckets, the team member's progress and capacity are displayed in hours. Each team member is assumed to work 6 hours per day. The total capacity for a sprint is the daily capacity multiplied by the number of working days in a sprint.

If the bucket does not display the expected results, check if:

• The team member has capacity defined.

• You assigned the item to the correct owner.

• You assigned story points to the item.

• You added tasks to the item.

• You assigned tasks to the correct owner.

• You estimated hours for the item's tasks.

To update a team member's capacity:

1. In the Team pane, hover over a member whose timing you want to update and click the Capacity Settings button.

2. In the Team Member Capacity dialog box, double-click a cell and edit the values as required. You can edit the sprint name, sprint start and end date, and the number of work days and hours the team member is expected to work.
