@Bill Sheboy Thanks for the detailed reply. I did try searching for a good template, but most of them were paid ones. Thought of checking if anyone was a using a free version, in which I just had to input the values

Hi @Smitha Joseph

You could try using an internet search for a template.

Or, partner with your Scrum team to...

* review the prior sprints' history (perhaps the last 3-4 sprints)
* using a whiteboard, tool, etc., list all of the team members
* ask people to note their availability, removing holidays, out-of-office time, other obligations, etc.
* when planning the sprint, decide how availability impacts capacity to select work for the team's sprint
* check team confidence on the plan's likelihood to meet the goal
* as needed, iterate over 4-5 to improve the sprint plan
* start the sprint and observe progress, making adjustments to help meet the goal
* after the sprint at the retrospective, consider how to experiment and improve in the future

Kind regards,
Bill
