Platform Team Sprint Velocity

This velocity chart compares what a platform team committed to with what it completed over six sprints. The paired bars make it easy to discuss whether the team is planning close to its recent capacity and whether a particular sprint had an unusual result. Velocity is a local planning measure: its meaning depends on the team's own story-point scale, staffing, and definition of done. Use the chart to start a conversation about scope, interruptions, and delivery patterns. Do not use it to rank teams, because another team's estimates and working context are not directly comparable. Keep the work categories and sprint length consistent when reading a trend.
