Monte Carlo Simulations & Capacity Planning for Scrum/Kanban

The “How many” chart is excellent for fixed-date planning. We use it to decide how much scope we can safely commit to rather than filling the release until the plan becomes unrealistic.

Instead of promising one date, we can now show stakeholders a range of completion dates with confidence levels. That has made roadmap conversations much more honest and easier to defend.

The ability to answer both "When will it be done?" and "How much can we deliver?" makes this app particularly useful. The forecasts are based on actual historical performance, which helps us set more realistic expectations and make better delivery decisions.

One of the most valuable Agile reporting tools we've added to Jira. Instead of debating dates based on assumptions, we can use historical data to understand likely outcomes and have more productive conversations about risk and expectations.

We were looking for a practical way to improve forecasting without exporting data into external tools. This app gave us exactly that. The simulations are easy to configure, the results are easy to understand, and they provide useful insights for both release planning and stakeholder communication.
