Sprint Velocity Calculator
Enter your last few sprints. We'll show your average, your trend, and a forecast range for the next one.
Now plan the sprint
You've got your capacity. Next step is sizing the stories with your team. PointPoker is a free, no-signup scrum poker tool from the same folks who built this calculator.

The average number of story points a team completes per sprint. It's a measure of throughput, not productivity, and it only makes sense within a single team over time.
How do you calculate it?
Sum the points completed across your last N sprints, divide by N. Most teams use the last 3 sprints because it smooths out one-off weeks without going so far back that the team composition has changed.
Why plan with a range?
Real velocity wobbles. Holidays, sick days, a gnarly ticket, a new hire ramping up — any of these shift a sprint by a few points. Committing to the exact average sets the team up to miss half the time. A ±10% range is honest about the noise and still gives planning something concrete to hold.
Common mistakes
Treating velocity as a target the team should hit. Comparing velocity between teams (points aren't a shared unit). Padding estimates to "look faster." Using velocity in performance reviews — the fastest way to corrupt the signal.
