What is it

Average number of tickets/estimates completed during the sprint/interval by a team member (assignee)


Why it matters

Measuring a team's efficiency rate helps to identify whether a team’s rate of efficiency stays consistent irrespective of whether a team’s size expands or contracts its team members. Specific is my team’s efficiency dependent on individual performers, or sustained through strong process and practice?

How we calculate it

  1. Get all the ticket details that are present in the sprint.

  2. Identify all the tickets that were completed during the sprint that is allocated to that given sprint.

  3. Identify all the assignees allocated to tickets in the sprint

Examples:

Ticket ID

Assignee

Completed Time

Sprint Completion Time

MA-0001

David

2021-01-07 10:00:00

MA-0002

Thamali

2021-01-02 16:00:00

MA-0003

David

MA-0004

Chris

MA-0005

Thamali

MA-0006

  • Total number of tickets completed during the sprint = 3 (MA-0002, MA-0004, MA-0006)

  • Total number of assignees in the sprint = 3 (Chris, David, Thamali)

  • Efficiency Rate = 3/3 → 3

Driving Practices

  • Total number of tickets in the interval

  • Number of tickets added mid-interval

  • Number of tickets removed mid-interval

  • Number of title changes mid-interval

  • Number of description changes mid-interval

  • Number of acceptance criteria changes mid-interval

  • Number of business days in the sprint

  • Number of tickets completed in interval

  • Number of assignees
