Velocity is a measure of how much work a team completes in an iteration, but it is not a measure of performance. Velocity helps teams plan and forecast, but it should not be used to compare teams or assess individual performance. Using velocity as a performance metric can lead to gaming and diminished quality.
''Velocity is a planning tool, not a performance metric. Comparing velocities between teams or using velocity to assess team performance is discouraged.''

Velocity helps track progress over time.

I’m a bit confused; I thought velocity was just about how much work is done, not necessarily how well the team is performing overall.

I feel like velocity is important, but it can be misleading if teams are just focusing on quantity over quality.

I remember a practice question where we discussed how velocity might not reflect quality. Is that relevant here?

I think velocity can be a good indicator, but I'm not sure if it captures the whole picture of team performance.
