Purpose

Commitment Rate shows the amount of work planned vs. completed, in %. In Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) a similar metric is called a Program Predictability Measure.

Commitment Rate helps to determine a team "reliability" and to accurately estimate the amount of work a team is able to deliver in future iterations.

Info

Calculation notes

  1. Sprint Planning Grace Period is set in Project Settings>Data Sources>Task Tracking system >Scope Management>Sprint Planning Grace Period

  2. 'Done' statuses are specified in Project Configuration>Data Sources>Task Tracking system >Workflows.

  3. Committed issues moved to another sprint are counted in the sprint they are actually completed.

  4. Issues/work items got into a sprint after a sprint start and completed within this sprint are included into Completed.

  5. Reopened and completed issues are included in the completed value calculation by their latest completion date timestamp.

  6. Estimates for Committed are taken at a sprint start including a grace period value if any.

  7. Estimates for Completed are taken at an issue completion.

  8. Sub items are included into the calculation if "Include sub items into metrics calculation" setting is on. Sub-bugs and sub-tasks are NOT taken into the calculation in items.

  9. Calculation of the metrics based on TFS takes into account sprint start at 23:59:59 so the same metric based on Jira data may differ.

  10. Releases without start/end dates are ignored.

  11. Trend line (blue dotted line) calculation (its inclination to axis x) ignores an incomplete iteration in the chart to reveal an accurate tendency.
