Agile Metrics Calculator
Overview
The Agile Metrics Calculator skill provides comprehensive calculation and analysis of Agile delivery metrics. It supports Scrum, Kanban, and hybrid methodologies with velocity tracking, burndown/burnup charts, flow metrics, and predictive forecasting using statistical methods.
Capabilities
Velocity Metrics
- Calculate team velocity with running averages
- Track velocity trends and stability
- Compute velocity range (min, max, average)
- Factor in team capacity changes
- Calculate normalized velocity per team member
Burndown and Burnup Charts
- Generate sprint burndown charts
- Generate release burnup charts
- Calculate ideal trendlines
- Show scope change impact
- Project completion dates
Flow Metrics (Kanban)
- Calculate cycle time and lead time
- Analyze throughput trends
- Calculate flow efficiency
- Generate cumulative flow diagrams (CFD)
- Identify bottlenecks and blockers
Forecasting
- Perform Monte Carlo forecasting
- Calculate probability distributions for completion
- Generate confidence intervals
- Compute predictability metrics
- Support "how many" and "when" forecasts
Usage
Input Requirements
- Sprint/iteration data with story points
- Work item history with state transitions
- Team capacity information
- Backlog with estimates
- Optional: Historical velocity data
Output Deliverables
- Velocity charts and statistics
- Burndown/burnup visualizations
- Flow metrics report (cycle time, throughput)
- Cumulative flow diagram
- Monte Carlo forecast with confidence levels
Example Use Cases
- Sprint Planning: Use velocity for capacity planning
- Release Planning: Forecast release dates with confidence
- Flow Optimization: Analyze CFD to identify bottlenecks
- Team Improvement: Track predictability trends
Process Integration
This skill integrates with the following processes:
- agile-metrics-velocity.js
- Sprint Planning and Backlog Refinement
- Kanban Flow Optimization
- Release Forecasting
Dependencies
- Statistical analysis libraries
- Time series analysis
- Probability calculations
- Visualization libraries

Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
gsd-tools
Central utility skill for GSD operations. Provides config parsing, slug generation, timestamps, path operations, and orchestrates calls to other specialized skills. Acts as the unified entry point that the original gsd-tools.cjs provided via its lib/ modules (commands, config, core, init).
model-profile-resolution
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
state-management
STATE.md reading, writing, and field-level updates. Provides cross-session state persistence via .planning/STATE.md with structured fields for current task, completed phases, blockers, decisions, and quick tasks.
git-integration
Git commit patterns, formats, and conventions for GSD methodology. Provides atomic commits per task, structured commit messages, planning file commits, branch management, and milestone tag operations.
frontmatter-parsing
YAML frontmatter parsing and manipulation for .planning/ documents. Provides read, write, update, query, and validation operations on frontmatter blocks in GSD markdown artifacts.
