Living plan

Capacity & cost

Computed live from the current sprint plan — never stored, never stale. Capacity = 6 people × 80 hrs × 70% utilization − 15% buffer ÷ 8 hrs/point = 35 points/sprint.

Why:One capacity number drives both halves of the hybrid model — the waterfall phase timeline and the sprint packing — and the same hours convert into every dollar figure below.

Cost & capacity assumptions

Configurable prototype assumptions (§31) — editing them recalculates sprints, capacity and every cost figure. Locked planning layers are never changed.

Estimates are generated using configurable prototype assumptions. Story points are relative estimates and should not be treated as guaranteed hours, dates, or financial commitments. Teams should replace default assumptions with validated historical data when available.
