Team Velocity
Team Velocity represents the average number of completed Issue tickets or Story points across each sprint.
Typo calculates Team Velocity for each sprint in two ways :
For Issue Tickets Typo calculates the sum of all the Issue tickets completed in the sprint
For Story Points Typo calculates the sum of Story Points for all the Issue tickets completed in the sprint
To calculate the average velocity, the total number of completed Issue tickets or Story points is divided by the total number of allocated Issue tickets or Story points for each sprint.
How does tracking team velocity help in sprint analysis?
Tracking team velocity provides valuable insights into the pace at which the team is completing work and delivering value. Here are a few points highlighting how monitoring team velocity helps in sprint analysis:
Performance Evaluation: Team velocity serves as a metric to assess the team's productivity and efficiency during sprints. By tracking the amount of work completed in each sprint, teams can evaluate their performance and identify areas for improvement.
Capacity Planning: Understanding the team's velocity enables better capacity planning for future sprints. By analyzing past velocity data, teams can estimate how much work they can accomplish in upcoming sprints, helping to set realistic goals and commitments.
Early Issue Detection: Significant deviations in velocity from previous sprints can indicate potential issues or obstacles affecting the team's productivity. Monitoring velocity trends allows teams to detect and address these issues early on, preventing them from impacting sprint outcomes.
Improvement Tracking: Continuously tracking team velocity enables teams to assess the effectiveness of process improvements and adjustments made over time. By correlating changes in velocity with corresponding process changes, teams can determine the impact of their efforts to enhance efficiency.
Decision Making: Velocity data provides valuable insights for decision-making during sprint planning and prioritization. Teams can use velocity trends to make informed decisions about adjusting sprint scope, allocating resources, and managing stakeholder expectations.
