Visualizing program velocity for planning and predictability
Velocity is key for team level predictability. Let's say that a feature is sized at 80 points and the team's average velocity is 40 points per 2-week sprint. We can then predict that the feature can be delivered in 2 sprints or 1 month. Just as it's important for a team to know its velocity in order to predict when a work item can be delivered, so too is it important for a team of teams to know its program velocity. Jira Align has several visualizations for this. Here we highlight three of them: the Program Increments Velocity, Program Increments Burnup, and Velocity Trend reports.
Program Increments Velocity
This report shows the overall velocity for the teams participating in the selected program and PI. The format is a bar graph with sprints on the horizontal axis and story points on the vertical axis. The report provides portfolio managers, RTEs, and others with a high-level understanding of whether...
