Is Velocity Good for Anything?

Regardless of what Agile strategy or framework a team is using, at the end of the day, one of the biggest questions teams are trying to answer is, “What can we get done in a certain timeframe?” 

And some choose to address this by using velocity: adding up the number of story points delivered in a sprint and using that to determine how much can get done in a future sprint. But does that really make sense with how story points work? And more importantly, is it even accurate at predicting future work?

In this episode, find out why we think velocity is actually meaningless and learn about better alternatives you can use to predict your team's output.
