Nor should stories that require less effort have the same point value. Comments are not for extended discussion, so please turn your comment into a new, linked question if you want a more complete answer. | |

While the fact is, it should see a gradual increase over sprints, as the team gets proficient at implementing features, plus later stories may leverage some of the existing features to be implemented. E.g. to add the first authorisation role of say 'Support' will need the implementation of Auth framework, but later adding a new role 'Admin' wouldnt be same effort. Though, they both relatively may be of similar points. So velocity should ideally increase. This invalidates the projected release date. | |

| Oct 3, 2015 at 16:41 | comment | added | John | Oh this is great @codegnome! Just one clarification. When you say the velocity for the team based on history is 20, each of the members of the team may be from different teams. While their past team's velocities might be known, how do I calculate the velocity of the new team? | |
