The Formula Explained
Velocity = Total Completed Story Points / Number of Sprints
Glossary of Terms
- Completed Story Points: The total number of story points completed in a sprint.
- Number of Sprints: The total number of sprints over which the points were completed.
- Agile Velocity: The average number of story points completed per sprint.
How It Works: A Step-by-Step Example
Suppose a team completed 100 story points over 5 sprints. The agile velocity would be calculated as:
Velocity = 100 / 5 = 20
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is Agile Velocity?
Agile Velocity is a metric that measures the amount of work a team can complete during a sprint.
How do you calculate Agile Velocity?
Agile Velocity is calculated by summing up the story points completed by the team in a sprint.
Why is Agile Velocity important?
It helps in predicting the amount of work a team can complete in future sprints, improving planning and efficiency.
Can Agile Velocity change over time?
Yes, as teams become more efficient or face different challenges, their velocity can change.
Does Agile Velocity measure team performance?
Not directly; it measures the amount of work delivered, but not the quality or efficiency of processes.
