FAQ
About the AI Sprint Velocity Forecaster
What does an AI Sprint Velocity Forecaster do?
You analyze historical velocity data and sprint metrics to forecast team capacity, predict delivery dates, and flag risks before they derail engineering timelines.
Does it act without asking me?
No, not for the steps that matter. It asks for your approval before it does any of these: Slack (post message), Google Docs (create), Notion (create page), Agent (request human approval). You can require approval for more.
How do I give it work?
Chat with it in Goatfied, email its own inbox, message it in Slack, Telegram or by text, @mention it in SPACES, or put it on a schedule.
How much does it cost?
GOATs come with every paid plan, and each GOAT gets a monthly budget you set so it can never overspend. Start free and upgrade when you're ready.
