Agile Velocity Tracking/Evidence
Method evidence record

Agile Velocity Tracking

Velocity tracking measures the amount of work (typically story points or tasks) a team completes in a sprint, enabling capacity planning, release forecasting, and identification of process improvements. Introduced in Scrum methodology by Schwaber (2002), velocity provides empirical data for realistic sprint planning and project timeline prediction. Teams use velocity trends to identify bottlenecks and validate process improvements.
