Maturity Levels

Compare Sprint Velocity with Average Velocity

M1: Velocity is 0-40% or >160%

M2: Velocity is 40-60% or 140-160%

M3: Velocity is 60-75% or 125-140%

M4: Velocity is 75-90% or 110-125%

M5: Velocity is 90% -110% - M5

How to Validate KPI

Suggested ways of working

1. This KPI calculation is based on the total story points of all issues from the completed issues in the Sprint Report

2. If estimation is configured as Original Estimation for the board, then calculation is based on the total original estimate of all issues from the completed issues in the Sprint Report (Total hours will be converted to story points, i.e., 8 hrs = 1sp)

Sample JQLs

project = "XYZ" AND "SCRUM Team" = ABC AND issuetype = Story AND status in (Closed) AND sprint in(433,406,405)

Benefits of KPI

How does the KPI help

1. Helping teams plan better by showing how fast they're working.

2. Spotting trends to work more efficiently.

3. Showing everyone how the sprint is progressing and when it'll be done.
