Business operations concept · updated August 9, 2026
Velocity
Velocity is the average amount of work a team completes in a given period, used to predict how much future work it can take on.
Example
A team that consistently completes about 20 points of work every two weeks can use that average to set a realistic commitment for the next period.
Why it matters
A track record of actual completed work is a more reliable planning input than optimistic guesses about how much a team can take on.
Limits and cautions
Velocity is only meaningful for the specific team and scale it was measured on; it can't be compared across teams with different sizing habits.
Relevance to Stelaah
Stelaah's project and task completion history can inform a realistic view of a team's actual throughput over time.
