How do you track sprint capacity vs. actual logged time in Azure DevOps?
Hey Product Hunt community! 👋
I’ve been working as a software architect for a while now, and if there’s one recurring headache I see across dev teams using Azure DevOps, it’s getting a clear, low-friction view of sprint capacity versus actual logged hours.
Built-in ADO reporting can feel a bit rigid, and teams often end up maintaining manual spreadsheets or forcing overly complex add-ons just to answer two basic questions:
Are we on track with our capacity this sprint?
Are our initial estimates actually realistic over time?
To fix this for my own workflow, I’ve been building SprintGauge — a tool to give Team Leads and PMs a simple visual signal on capacity variance and estimation accuracy.
Currently it's in free beta, I’d love to learn from this community:
How is your team currently handling capacity tracking and estimation reviews in ADO?
Do you rely on built-in metrics, custom queries/spreadsheets, or third-party tools?
Would love to hear how you tackle this in your daily routines! 💬
