Sprint Planning Overtime Costs
Definition
Manual sprint planning fails to balance workloads, causing overtime as teams commit to unrealistic tasks without proper velocity data or dependency mapping.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AUD 5,000-10,000 per team/year in overtime (assuming 10-20 extra hours/month at AUD 100/hour avg developer rate)
- Frequency: Per sprint (bi-weekly)
- Root Cause: Lack of data-driven capacity assessment and dependency identification in manual backlog management
Why This Matters
The Pitch: IT custom software developers in Australia 🇦🇺 waste AUD 5,000-10,000 annually per team on overtime from poor sprint planning. Automation of capacity planning eliminates this risk.
