Understanding Velocity
Sprint velocity measures how much work a team completes in a sprint, typically measured in story points. Use 3-5 sprints for a reliable average.
Using Velocity Effectively
- Plan conservatively — Use the lower estimate for commitments.
- Don't compare teams — Story points are team-specific.
- Track trends — Stable or improving velocity indicates healthy teams.
- Account for vacations — Adjust capacity for time off.
Common Velocity Issues
- High variability often indicates scope creep or estimation problems.
- Declining velocity may signal technical debt or team issues.
- New team members temporarily reduce velocity during onboarding.
