What it does

This workflow keeps capacity honest when people take time off after planning. A change to the team's shared time-off calendar recalculates available person-days, scales the velocity baseline accordingly, and re-checks the active sprint, flagging it if the reduced capacity now falls short of the existing commitment.

When to use it

Use it when PTO and holidays routinely break sprint plans that were sized for full attendance. It re-runs the math automatically the moment availability shifts.

How it works

  1. 1A Google Calendar change event on the team time-off calendar triggers the run.
  2. 2The workflow computes remaining available person-days for the active sprint window.
  3. 3It reads the current cycle commitment from Linear.
  4. 4A logic step scales velocity to available days and compares against commitment.
  5. 5If now over-committed, it posts the revised capacity and shortfall to Microsoft Teams.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect Google CalendarEvents, attendees, availability.
  2. 2
    Connect LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
  3. 3
    Connect Microsoft TeamsChannels, chats, files.
  4. 4
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  5. 5
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  6. 6
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
