Sprint Velocity
Definition
The average amount of work, often measured in story points, a team completes in one sprint.
Why it matters
Knowing your sprint velocity helps you predict how much your team can realistically deliver in future sprints.
Example
A team that completes around 30 story points each sprint uses that velocity to plan the next one.
