Agile Team Velocity KPI

Set the sprint velocity target as a Moving Average percentage based on the velocity of all previous sprints or a selected number of recent sprints. Establish clear expectations for your Scrum team for each sprint, ensuring consistent performance and improvement.

Step 1: Begin by disabling the Date Range in the Data source and selecting the project you wish to analyze.

Step 2: Next, choose the 'Story Points' metric.

Step 3: For the x-axis, opt for 'Sprint' and set it under the 'Display by' field. To measure velocity accurately, select "Completed in."

Step 4: Whenever you opt to display results by Sprint, you'll have to select a Sprint board to generate the report. This step is mandatory and ensures accurate sprint reporting.

Step 5: (Optional) Stack by "Sprint rolling state" field to distinguish between completed story points newly added to the current sprint and those that are rolling over from previous sprints.

Step 6: Switch-on Target section and select '% of Avg' tab.

Step 7: Evaluate Target per Sprint as Moving Average (MA) based on the current metric.

Step 8: Set a target level of your choice. In our example, it is 95% of the Avg. Story Points calculated as MA derived from all past sprints. Keep the 'Exceeding is good' selection.

Step 9: (Optional) Under the 'More Settings' section, enable and define 'Warning threshold'. Results above the threshold and below the target level will be colored in amber on the chart.
