Assign a Team to a Sprint

You can assign a team to a sprint so that they can participate in projects.

Note: This procedure assigns an existing scrum team and does not create one.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Agile, and from Sprint Tracking, click Sprint Information.
2. Filter the view to display the sprint you want to assign the team to.
3. In the Sprint Teams section, click Add Sprint Team.

   The Add Sprint Team page appears.

4. Complete the required fields. The following fields require explanation:

   Expected Velocity

   Defines the estimated total story points that a scrum team believes they can realistically complete during a sprint. The velocity displays as team capacity in the sprint backlog.

   Expected velocity does not alter general team numbers. You can accept the value that is specified on the Team Details page or can override it for the sprint by entering a new value. The new value becomes the default velocity for the team for each new sprint that the team is assigned to.

   Hours per Day

   Defines the base or standard number of hours each day that all team members spend actively working for the team. This value is used in the burndown and burnup calculations.

   This value does not alter general team numbers. You can accept the Hours per Day that is specified in the Team Details page or can override it for the sprint by entering a new value.

5. Save your changes.
