What Castor is

Castor is a helpful tool, not official tooling and not a source of truth. Your tracker and your team's official records stay authoritative. Keep backups.

Castor plans and tracks sprints for one scrum team: capacity planning from rolling velocity and availability, sprint closeout with rollover tracking, a daily standup runner, and velocity metrics. You enter planned and completed points per sprint; every metric is computed from that history.

Your data
Set up your team

On first open, Castor asks for the team basics. Everything can be changed later in Settings.

  1. Team name — identifies your team, including in export files.
  2. Roster with skill weights — each member gets a weight (1.0 = baseline) used in the team-availability calculation; a senior who delivers more can sit above 1.0, a new joiner below.
  3. Cadence — sprints per PI and default sprint length, matching your ART's calendar. PI labels are free text, so use your own convention.
  4. Tracker links (optional) — base URLs for your wiki and issue tracker. When set, sprints and rolled issues link out; when empty, the link buttons stay hidden.

Then create your first sprint from the Sprints tab. Capacity recommendations appear once a few completed sprints exist — the first sprints are data entry, not forecasts.
