What is Sprint Velocity?
Sprint velocity is a measure of how much work an agile team completes during a sprint, typically measured in story points. It is used for planning future sprints and forecasting when large initiatives will be completed.
Why Track Velocity?
Velocity helps teams make realistic commitments and gives stakeholders predictable delivery timelines. A stable velocity indicates a mature team; high variance suggests estimation problems or external disruptions.
Best Practices
Use the last 3-5 sprints for the most accurate forecast. New teams should expect velocity to fluctuate for the first few sprints. Never use velocity to compare different teams - story points are team-specific.
Build the Right Things Faster
Velocity tells you how fast you can build. IdeaLift helps you decide what to build by capturing feedback from Slack, Discord, and support tickets.
