### Capacity Planning for Teams` Understanding capacity planning is crucial to lead a team, especially in software development. It involves estimating the duration of tasks, accounting for dependencies and other factors that impact the team's workload. This includes understanding the team's obligations, such as meetings, bug verification, and other tasks that affect their capacity. The capacity changes daily due to design changes, bugs found, dependent tasks, and shifting priorities. To accurately plan a sprint, one must consider these factors and account for intangibles like team strengths and weaknesses. By combining level of effort (LOE), duration, and capacity planning, sprint planning can become more routine and efficient.
