Velocity (sprint estimation)
What is Velocity (sprint estimation)?
The amount of work a team consistently delivers in a sprint, measured in story points or hours.
Velocity is the calibration loop for estimates: once a team has run a few sprints, its measured velocity is a more reliable input to forward planning than any individual's gut feel.
