How it works

1

Reserve non-build work

Discovery, design, testing, launch, and contingency are removed before feature delivery capacity is calculated.

2

Convert money to hours

The remaining delivery budget is divided by the entered blended hourly rate.

3

Match candidate scope

Available hours divided by average feature hours produces a capped viable feature count.

Frequently asked questions

Is average feature effort reliable?

It is only a first-pass planning shortcut. Estimate high-risk and must-have features individually before making a delivery commitment.

Why remove non-build work first?

Design, discovery, testing, launch, and contingency consume real capacity even though they do not appear as customer-facing features.

Does the tool decide which features stay?

No. It estimates how many average-sized features fit. Customer value, risk, dependencies, and learning goals should determine which ones remain.
