Your sprint plan assumes 10 days × N people. Your calendar disagrees.
Name where your team sits and the window you’re planning. This subtracts the public holidays each country actually observes and the time off you’ve booked — then shows the working days and person-days that are left, and whether what you’ve committed fits inside them.

484 person-days, not 512. 64 working days on a Mon–Fri week × 8 people is where the 512 comes from.

- Mon 29 Mar8 of 8 offUnited Kingdom · Easter MondayIreland · Easter Monday
3 of these dates take out part of the team only — the window carries days where some of the team is off and the rest is working.
Only holidays landing on a working day are listed. Where a country moves one that falls on a weekend onto a weekday, the moved date is what appears, marked observed; where it does not, the holiday costs the window nothing and is left out.
What the holiday dates exclude
Coverage is national. Regional, state, municipal and religious holidays are not in these numbers, and neither are company shutdown days or collective-agreement days off unless the note below says otherwise. Every date is computed from a rule rather than fetched, so it holds for any year — but a rule cannot know about a one-off national holiday declared for a royal jubilee or a funeral.
- United Kingdom
- England and Wales bank holidays. Scotland (2 January, the first Monday in August, St Andrew's Day) and Northern Ireland (St Patrick's Day, the Battle of the Boyne) differ, and Easter Monday is not a bank holiday in Scotland. One-off royal bank holidays cannot be derived from a rule and are excluded.
- Ireland
- Good Friday is not a statutory public holiday in Ireland and is excluded, though many workplaces close. St Brigid's Day counts from 2023, the year it was introduced. A holiday landing on a weekend is shown on the following working day, but the Organisation of Working Time Act lets an employer settle the entitlement with an extra annual-leave day or an extra day's pay instead of a substitute day, so that date is modelled and the team may well work it.
Step 2 — the commitment check
Against 484 available person-days rather than the 512 the plan assumed. Turning those into points needs a points-per-day pace, and the only honest source for one is your own last few sprints — without them, this shows the person-days and stops there.
What this can and cannot see
Holiday dates are computed from rules rather than fetched from a list, so they hold for any year — but coverage is national only, and each country’s exclusions are spelled out beside the result. The commitment check is arithmetic on the numbers you enter plus the sprint totals you give us. No cross-team benchmark stands behind it, because none exists: nobody can tell you how often commitments like yours land elsewhere, and a number that claimed to would be invented.
