Most asked Agile interview question!
👉 Velocity = Predictability
👉 Velocity ≠ Productivity
🚶 Simple Logic:
If my average walk is 3 miles/hour,
will I hit exactly 3 miles daily?
❌ Not guaranteed!
Weather, health, energy — everything matters.
Same with Sprint Velocity.
📊 Why Velocity Changes?
• Smooth vs difficult sprints
• Blockers & dependencies
• Team availability
• Story complexity
That’s why we take average of past sprints — only for forecasting.
🎯 Real Use of Velocity:
• Predict how many sprints an epic may take
• Support roadmap planning
• Improve delivery forecasting
Not to judge team performance!
💡 Interview Tip:
Velocity helps you predict delivery, not measure productivity.
