Inline Azure DevOps Sprint Capacity Setup with Public Holidays & PTO
Set up your sprint capacity inline in seconds with built-in awareness of logged PTO, absences, and regional public holidays—right next to your active Azure DevOps sprint backlog.
Eliminating the Hidden Holiday Overcommitment Trap
Distributed engineering teams often overcommit when regional bank holidays fall mid-iteration. Manually tracking days off for every developer is tedious and frequently forgotten.
- Built-in Public Holidays: Statutory public holidays for 12 countries today (more on the roadmap) are applied automatically to your daily and sprint targets.
- Planned vs. Actual Pacing: Compare your logged hours against holiday- and absence-adjusted sprint targets.
- Works Across Scrum, Agile, Basic & CMMI: Respects Remaining Work, Completed Work, and Original Estimate fields automatically.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does VelocyTrack account for public holidays and PTO in sprint capacity?
Choose your public holiday country in your profile and log absences in the timelog. Public holidays and absences are excluded from your daily and sprint targets, and Team plan managers can see squad absences and PTO conflicts. VelocyTrack does not write days off back into Azure DevOps iteration capacity yet; that sync is on the roadmap.
Which regional public holiday calendars are included?
VelocyTrack includes statutory public holiday calendars for 12 countries today (including the US, UK, Germany, Bulgaria, Poland, Netherlands, Canada, and more), with additional regional calendars on the roadmap.
Does inline sprint capacity work with Scrum, Agile, Basic, and CMMI templates?
Yes. VelocyTrack supports all standard and inherited Azure DevOps process templates, reading and updating Remaining Work, Completed Work, and Original Estimate fields seamlessly.
