Velocity is calculated by observing actual completion across several sprints and averaging the results. It provides a data-driven basis for capacity planning and release forecasting.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Use Velocity<\/h2>\n<p>Once you have velocity data from three or more sprints, divide the remaining backlog estimate by velocity to forecast how many more sprints are needed to complete the project. For example, 200 story points remaining with a velocity of 40 points per sprint suggests five more sprints.<\/p>\n<h2>Velocity Trends<\/h2>\n<p>An increasing velocity suggests the team is becoming more productive. A decreasing velocity may indicate accumulating technical debt, team member changes, or increasing task complexity. Monitor velocity trends rather than treating any single sprint&#8217;s output as definitive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A metric in Zoho Projects measuring the amount of work (in story points or tasks) a team completes per sprint, used to forecast future capacity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"seo_title":"Sprint Velocity | Zoho Glossary | Aaxonix","seo_description":"A metric in Zoho Projects measuring the amount of work (in story points or tasks) a team completes per sprint, used to forecast future capacity.","seo_keyword":"sprint velocity zoho projects","seo_faqs":"","term_type":"","glossary_related":"","glossary_links":""},"glossary_category":[1253],"class_list":["post-4942","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish","hentry","glossary_category-zoho-projects"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/4942","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossary"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"glossary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary_category?post=4942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
