Program allocation

About this report

With the program allocation report, you can review the load of all teams in your program to understand the distribution/allocation of work. The report shows the planned versus accepted story points for each team by sprint. The Points Planned row shows the loaded story points for a sprint, while the Points Accepted row shows the accepted story points for a sprint. Also, you can view the Avg Team Velocity value for each team.

The Program Totals table at the top of the report shows the total story points loaded in the sprint for all teams. The Total Avg Team Velocity for all teams is also displayed.
