Sprint Velocity
Definition
The amount of work a team completes per sprint, measured in story points or hours. It is tracked over multiple sprints to establish a baseline—for example, if the team consistently delivers forty points per sprint, that becomes the planning basis.
Why It Matters
Velocity is the most reliable way to answer “when will this be done?” Without it, timelines are guesses.
