Velocity = The Most Abused Agile Metric Ever
About this episode
Velocity = The Most Abused Agile Metric Ever
Welcome to the dark side of velocity — the number that started as a planning aid and ended up as a weaponized performance metric, often wielded by people who’ve never touched a user story in their lives.
In this episode, we’ll break down:
- What velocity is supposed to do
- How it gets misunderstood and misused
- Why chasing it kills team health
- And how to bring it back from the dead
Let’s sprint into it. (Pun 100% intended.)
