How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the story points completed in each of the last 3–6 sprints.
- The calculator computes the average and rolling velocity.
- Review the average velocity to set the sprint commitment for the upcoming sprint.
- Avoid overcommitting beyond average velocity — it leads to incomplete sprints.
- Track velocity trend over time; a declining trend often signals team capacity or quality issues.
