Average sprint velocity and forecast sprints to finish remaining work.
Dividing delivered points by the number of sprints gives average velocity, which then forecasts how many future sprints the remaining work needs. Velocity turns a raw backlog into a date, making it the primary signal for sprint planning and for communicating progress to stakeholders.
Sprint Velocity Trend
Average velocity = completed points / sprints; sprints needed = remaining / velocity
Average velocity = completed points / sprints; sprints needed = remaining / velocity Dividing delivered points by the number of sprints gives average velocity, which then forecasts how many future sprints the remaining work needs.
