Velocity metrics
Velocity metrics are a set of measurements used in agile project management to track the progress of a team’s work. These metrics help teams understand how much work they can complete in a given time frame, allowing them to make more accurate estimations for future tasks.
One common velocity metric is the team’s velocity, which is the average amount of work completed in a sprint. This metric is calculated by adding up the number of story points completed in each sprint and dividing by the number of sprints.
Another important velocity metric is the sprint velocity, which measures the amount of work completed in a single sprint. This metric helps teams understand how much work they can realistically accomplish in a short period of time.
By tracking velocity metrics, teams can identify bottlenecks in their workflow, make adjustments to improve efficiency, and set more realistic goals for future projects.
- Team velocity: Average amount of work completed in a sprint
- Sprint velocity: Amount of work completed in a single sprint
