How are commitment story points calculated for a Sprint

Meenakshi Khanna

How does one calculate commitment story points for a sprint.
Velocity chart shows 139/160 story points but sprint details show
128-->139 completed, 44 Not completed, 24 Removed.
As per my calculation, Commitment SP for Sprint should have been ( 128+44+24=196 ).

Hello @Meenakshi Khanna

In the docs it's pretty clear as to what exactly committed points means for velocity chart

Commitment: The gray bar for each sprint shows the total estimate of all issues in the sprint when it begins. After the sprint has started, any stories added to the sprint, or any changes made to estimates, will not be included in this total.

In your shared data you have mentioned 44 points are "not completed" and 24 as removed, but were any of the issues from these 2 sets added after sprint start? Because if they were added after sprint start and later removed or left incomplete then they won't count towards the "committed" total of 139.
