The formula to calculate the Agile Velocity (AV) is:
\[ AV = \frac{B}{S} \]
Where:
Let's say the total number of backlog items completed (\( B \)) is 120 and the total number of sprints (\( S \)) is 10. Using the formula:
\[ AV = \frac{120}{10} \]
We get:
\[ AV = 12 \]
So, the Agile Velocity (\( AV \)) is 12 backlog items per sprint.
Agile velocity is defined as the total number of backlog items completed per sprint. This metric comes from the Agile business philosophy for running teams more efficiently. A sprint is a single project timeline or arbitrary time constraint of work used to block time frames for analyzing performance. More simply, agile velocity is a measure of a team’s efficiency relative to an expected outcome.
