I'm using Azure DevOps Server 2019 udpate 1.1. Referring to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/boards/sprints/set-capacity?view=azure-devops, I didn't find any way to track by web interface a different sprint capacity according to the day. Normally my capacity for a team T is 8 hours per day. I think that is normal that in some day my capacity for a team T can be for example 6 hours per day, and another day my capacity for the same team T can be 4 hours per day. How can set these different capacity according to the day? Maybe there is some way provided by time tracker extension of I can use REST-API?

  • Not get your response for several days, would you please share your latest information about this issue? If you have any concern, feel free to share it here. – Hugh Lin Jul 24 '20 at 09:12
  • Sorry for delay. I found this other old stackoverflow question very similar to my question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13734051/how-to-plan-user-capacity-per-day-on-tfs12-scrum-template-2-0. Furthermore I found a question about this topic on time tracker extension here https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=7pace.Timetracker&ssr=false#qna. Ultimately, as you already confirmed I did not find any native functionality offered by Azure DevOps or marketplace extension useful for this scope. – user13953606 Jul 30 '20 at 19:50

How can set these different capacity according to the day?

I am afraid that there is no out-of-the-box feature in azure devops to achieve this requirement. Setting different capacity per day is currently not supported in azure devops.

You can refer to this case with similar issue.

As workaround , you can update a team member's capacity by calling rest api according to actual needs.

PATCH https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/{team}/_apis/work/teamsettings/iterations/{iterationId}/capacities/{teamMemberId}?api-version=5.0

Apart from the negative answer, I think what you want is a good idea! So I post a feature request here in DC forum. You could vote that suggestion ticket and share your comment there,the product team would provide the updates if they view it. Thank you for helping us build a better Azure DevOps.

  • If we consider a typical sprint capacity of 8 hours per day, could be a feasible workaround to manually change sprint capacity (using REST-API or web interface shown at point 4 of this link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/boards/sprints/set-capacity?view=azure-devops-2019#set-capacity-for-the-team-and-team-members) only when it is necessary? More in details: - the change must be done in the exact day in which it is necessary, for instance set 6 hours - in next day, if the change is not more necessary, the sprint capacity can be reset to 8 hours – user13953606 Jul 30 '20 at 20:14
  • What would be the body of this PATCH call? I am trying to edit "Days off" per developer – Marko Petričević Mar 22 '22 at 07:57
