The capacity derived from the workload, holiday, and absences can be converted from time units into Story points. This way, you can calculate the default capacity values of your teams and team members using story points.

Overwrite the predefined ratio

When the Configurable Story Point conversion ratio option in Box types > Resources > Basics is enabled, you can overwrite the predefined ratio in the box configuration.

To overwrite the predefined ratio:

  1. Go to box configuration > Resources > Story points.

  2. Enter the value.

  3. When ready, click Save.

Conversion set to "0" 

The conversion set to 0 can be useful in connection with the velocity report.

Resource capacity

Switch to the Story Points mode to convert the capacity of each resource presented on the resource grid into story points using the defined velocity. Using this view, you can display the capacity and committed story points at an individual and team level.

Team capacity

The converted capacity expressed in story points will become the default capacity calculated by the Board module. The capacity can be overwritten using capacity planning but it will not update related calendars.

For example, Iteration 1.1 has a duration of 10 days, and the ratio is set to 4h=1SP (1d=2SP). A team member's individual capacity is 10d x 2 SP = 20SP.
