A team plans a two-week sprint. There are 6 developers, each available 6 productive hours per day for 10 working days. The team reserves 20% of capacity for meetings and unplanned work. How many productive hours are available for committed sprint work?

Question

Accepted Answer

288 hours. Gross capacity = 6 developers × 6 hours × 10 days = 360 hours. Reserving 20% leaves 80% for committed work: 360 × 0.80 = 288 hours. Selecting 360 ignores the reservation, and 432 mistakenly adds 20% instead of subtracting it.
