If you or your team are new to Scrum, you can use this as a starting point to answer, “what should we be doing and why?” for each Scrum Event. If your team is more experienced but you feel like you’re drifting away from healthy behaviors and patterns and you’re not sure how to course correct - you can use this series as a baseline to reset and start re-aligning your team.

To calculate how many user stories can be assigned in a 2-week sprint

-
 To calculate how many user stories can be assigned in a 2-week sprint with 3 developers and 1 QA, where each developer works 6 hours per day, we need to consider the total available hours and how many story points the team can realistically complete. Example Calculation Assumptions: Sprint Duration: 2 weeks (10 working days). Work Hours per Day per Developer: 6 hours. Total Developer Hours: 3 developers × 6 hours/day × 10 days = 180 hours. Work Hours per Day for QA: 6 hours. Total QA Hours: 6 hours/day × 10 days = 60 hours. Average Velocity: Assume the team typically completes 25 story points per sprint. Estimating User Stories Allocate Story Points to Developers: Let’s assume each story is 5 story points. If each story requires approximately 30 developer hours (5 story points/story), the developers could handle 6 stories: 180  developer hours 30  hours per story = 6  stories \frac{180 \text{ developer hours}}{30 \text{ hours per story}} = 6 \te...
