Frequently Asked Questions

What is 'Velocity'?+
The amount of work (usually in points) a team completes in a single sprint.
Is higher velocity always better?+
No; velocity should be stable. A sudden spike might mean the team is cutting corners or 'gaming' the points.
How do vacations impact velocity?+
By calculating 'Capacity' (percentage of available hours), you can reduce the sprint commitment proportionally.
