תקציר	Use case point (UCP) estimation quantifies software development effort by analyzing use cases and environmental factors. Introduced by Karner (1993) for Objectory methodology, UCP provides structured approach to estimate labor hours from system requirements. Organizations use UCP to forecast project duration, allocate resources, and validate high-level project plans early in development.	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.
