Enhanced Velocity Chart
The Enhanced Velocity Chart app displays the amount of work accepted for previous iterations in the project scope. The amount of work accepted is compared to both the work accepted after the iteration ends and the work not accepted in the iteration. By showing up to the previous 10 iterations, velocity can be estimated for the development team's ability to deliver acceptable work.
Summary of chart data
- Dark green bars show the total amount of accepted work delivered by the last day of the iteration.
- Light green bars (if present) show the total amount of accepted work delivered since the last day of the iteration.
- Clear bars (if present) represent work done during the iteration that was not accepted.
- Dark green line shows the proposed velocity over the past iterations.
Not all iterations are development iterations. Some teams use iterations for hardening or investigating a product before releasing. Several statistics have been included to help reflect this, and not let those iterations bias the velocity. The average of the last 3 iterations, the average of the best 3 iterations, and the average of the worst 3 iterations are included to help reveal a more actionable velocity.
Interact with the chart
Each previous iteration of the default project is shown in the X axis (up to 10 iterations) and the Plan Estimates are shown on the Y axis. Hover the mouse over each section of each bar to display exact numbers for each iteration.
