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.

• 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.)
