Release Capacity: set up total calculation

In this article we describe how to set up Capacity custom field to Releases/Program Increments. When the field is configured, it is possible to input capacity per each release manually or calculate it automatically as total capacity of inner team iterations.

Manual input

Capacity in points can be set to each Release manually. Use detailed views or list views for this purpose.
