What is velocity?
Velocity is the number of story points a team completes on average per sprint. It is not a performance number — it is a planning aid: you use it to predict how much work fits in an upcoming sprint.
How to use the calculator
- For each past sprint, enter committed and completed points.
- The average velocity appears below the table.
- Use that average as a guideline for your next sprint.
Tips
- Use the last 3 to 5 sprints for a reliable average.
- Never compare velocity between teams — points are relative.
- Strongly fluctuating velocity points to unstable planning.
