Number of Stories

The quantity of user stories completed within a single sprint, recorded either as a simple tally or as a weighted total.

Key Points

  • Tracks how many user stories are finished in a single sprint (team throughput).
  • Can be a simple count or a weighted count based on agreed size or complexity rules.
  • Only stories that meet the Definition of Done are included; partial work is excluded.
  • Useful for forecasting and trend analysis, but it does not by itself indicate effort or value.

Example

In Sprint 6, the team completes 8 user stories. Using a weighted scheme (S=1, M=2, L=3), they finish 3 small, 4 medium, and 1 large story. The simple Number of Stories is 8; the weighted Number of Stories is 3*1 + 4*2 + 1*3 = 14.
